The waterfront is Of course one
q the first sources Of pictures In

ewUr nice the view looks to the
csc and some days it is very fine
6esRn near the waters edge that
pwoper use of the camera can
sake Il a lot better. Take Mr..

Eae 30 be a beauty he shouts for
Mrs.. Mitchell and they get their
MIRA red and yellow and other
epior filters out for the camera
and set pictorial recordings of
xhe beautiful cloud effects. Mr.
Mitchell has done a splendid job
N bringing out the beautiful bill

ex1ld front cloud. These cloud
SnFmntions are not as sharp farth-
e. nofth as they are here. iHi'
