ESSENTIALS.

As the correct type of negative and resultant point will possess an extremely long scale of grada. tion, sensitive material known to possess a good margin of latitude In exposure. The newer double conteri roll films and flim packs are likely to be successful in re cording subjects of this type. In

a good many cases some areas of the subject must porforce-bave than is re- for more exposure quired, the latitude of this (shall I say "chrome' type of film will take care of this.

EXPOSURE.

A saying that I bave heard, and practised successfully Is "Expose for the shadows." This means that the highlights will be over- exposed. This over-exposure may be easily taken care of if one does one's own developing, expecially by the dish inspection method. alternating between the develop- ing solution and clear water.

However, if the chrome fim is

used and the roll or pinck sent to a D. and P. Co, for nishing, in- variably the latitude will be suffelent for a respectable ron- tact print being made, though some local reduction or masking may be necessary when enlarging.
