· THE AMATEUR PHOTOGRAPHER
NOTES AND QUERIES
BY "EFTOO".
On Sept. 6, Mr. E. H. H. Highani has kindly consented to comment on nome of the entries in the "Tele- graph competition.
As Mr. Higham is an architect and self-confessedly not a photo- grapher, his idea of mass composi tion and line and perspective should be of great interest to all budding pictorialists.
This talk is under the auspices of the II. K. International Photo- graphic Society.
The talk by Mr. A. N. Betts on miniature photography will be sum- marised later.
