LANDSCAPE PHOTOGRAPHY.


The most encouraging out Of door
subjects for the beginner in photogra-
ply are landscapes. The most impOr-
tant point in photographing land
scapc is the selection Of it; the chOos-
ing of a bit of scenery which, when
translated to black and white, will
form an interesting picture. You must
always bear in mind that the beautiful
culOrs which you see In nature and
upon the ground glass will not be pres
ent in the photograph, which must
rely for its beauty upon form and light
and shade. When you wish to photo
graph n landscape, take plenty of time
to think about it. After you have
chosen your subject, determine the
point CT greatest interest and then de-
eide whether the picture will look best
with this point directly in the center,
to one side or toward the top or bot
tom.
If you live near the spot you intend
to photograph, it will pay you to notice
at what time of year it is most bcart-
full Some landscapes look very COM
monplace in summer, but make stun
ming pictures when half buried in the
snow. Waterfalls often look best in
early spring. because there is 4 greater
volume of water pouring over them Mt
that time than at any other.
4 most interesting series of pictures
may be made by choosing beautiful
bit of landscape and photographing it
from the same point at frequent inter
walls throughout the year, The first
picture we will say, is taken when the
ground and trees are covered with
srsw, the second when most of the
snow is melted and the rest lies in
patches here and there and the third
when the fields are flooded with rains.
After these would come pictures show
ing the trees in bud. in leaf, in blossom,
with fruit and later dismant!Cd with
the frosts OF autumn. - Philadelphia

together and in desperation shouted at

A WAR ON "RAG TIME"

the listeners rather than the players.
