The artist is Charles A. Townsend of
Belfast, commercial and LANDSCAPE pho
toerapher. The work is done with lens
that gives the photographer accessibility
of individual expression along artistic
lines that are not possible with lens of
the ordinary type There has been lack
of the true perspective and atmospher e
effects with the old style lens which gave
the same sharpness in distance as the i'm
mediate foreground, while with a soft
focus lens the user has a chance to ex
nress what artistic taste he may have by
deciding the amount of diffusion that
gives the most pleasing results.
