AN THE heights of Mount
W Alto stand a lovely old
blackberry tree and a few
ancient cedars. This locality
used to be called Sailors Hill.
At the top of this highest
hill stood for 100 years or
more an enormous tree known
as Sailors Oak, the tallest Of
the forest, a sentinel which
could be seen for miles around.
Ships coming up the Potomac
to the important port of
Georgetown sighted this land
mark and sailed safely into

Pictures and legends are

the stalwart old oak whose
silhouette against the blue
sky on its lofty pedestal was
an inspiring and thrilling

the warty old blackberry still
remains.
The earliest settlement,
where Georgetown is now
located, at the head of the
tidewater Of the Potomac, was
an Indian village called Toho-

ice is credited with allowing sew
Ieral jumping contests last winter
The operators of Split Rock in
vestigated the use of ice before
going into the expensive equip
ment that produces a variety OF
snow that sometimes will outdo
natures. They were not sold on
the crushed ice idea. largely be-
cause ice has a tendency to cas-
cade down hill even under the
light disturbance of f1eeting skis.
Split Rocks engineers developed
the know-how of showing the
slopes last winter and learned by
experience the freezing tempera-
lures at which the several types
of nozzles work best.
Recent press dispatches from
New Hampshire told of the win
ter resort operators interest in
a campaign to permit cloud-seed-
ing to invoke snow when nature
appears coy about releasing
profit making white stuff from
the skies. Law suits being the size
they are these days, skiers might
as well not expect relief for bare
slopes from man-induced snow
from clouds. Blanketing a broad
area beyond the slopes them
selves, a winter storm could bring
distress, disaster and the expendi-
ture of millions of dollars upon
those who draw the line when re-
sorts talk of tampering with the
weather.

in a situation where haze would
stop visible light radiations from
reaching from the subject to the
film, the infrared radiations will
penetrate and render a clear,
sharp image on the infrared film.
Another important characteris-
tic of the infrared radiation, which
we shall refer to as infrared light
from now on for the purpose Of
simplicity. is that many substances
reflect the infrared light different
ly. For example, green leaves,
grass, and other growing plants
absorb very little of the infrared
light and consequently this light
is reflected from the vegetation
with the result that it photographs
white or as though it might be
covered with snow. This opens a
new avenue to the pictorialist who
is always after something differ
ent in the way of striking pictures.
Foliage Looks Different.
After making your first infrared
landscape pictures. you will imme-
diately note the unusual depth and
clarity of detail of the scenes. The
skies will photograph black with
the white clouds standing out in
sharp contrast and this, combined
with the unusual foliage rendition
referred to above, will give you a
picture of a rare and distinctive
beauty.
There are other important uses
for infrared photography. There
are many dyes and coloring agents
that do not absorb infrared. with
the result that this medium has
become valuable tool of the GRIM
Iinologist and civil investigator.
Many things are visible to the
infrared "eye" that go undetected
when ortho and pan films are used.
Investigators have been able to
detect erasures. forgeries, other
wise invisible stains. washed -out
bloodstains, invisible writing and
other information through the use
of infrared Photography. A letter,
will. or other document that has
been worked on by a skillful forger
so that it appears untouched to
the naked eye will reveal its
changes when photographed by
infrared. The medium is also used
| frequently to see under the surface

Infrared photography, generally
speaking, has slight appeal to the
amateur photographer. Neverthe-
less the subject will bear discussion
because there are sure to be oc-
casions when the infrared process
will come to the help of the cam
'eraman who finds himself unable
to get satisfactory picture with
his familiar orthochromatic or
.panchromatic materials.
Any one who has made photo
graphs with the ordinary mate
Irials of photography to which we
have become accustomed can make
Iinfrared pictures with equal facil-
Iity, for there is little difference in
actual practice. The snapshots
that we make every day are the
result of reflected visible light
which is recorded on a film sem
sitive to that light. Infrared shots
are made in the usual manner but
result from the effect of invisible
radiation on films which have
been senSitized to react to this
invisible radiation in the same
way that the ordinary films react
to visible radiation or light rays
While light, as we know, is
made up of a combination Of the
various colors of the visible spec
Itrum. These colors, which we have
seen when white light has beer
broken down into its components
by means of prism, are violet
blue. blue-green. green, yellow
orange and red. Each of these
Icolors is seen separately in the
spectrum because each represent.
radiation of a different wave
length.

Other radiation, that is invisi-
BILE to the human eye. is also pres

to as infrared and ultraviolet

wave length is found at one END

which had been covered on top
with palm fronds to insulate us
from the desert sun. The floor of
the tent was carpeted with dozens
of rich African rugs. We sat on
cushions and ate from tables
hardly 2 feet high.
Walters in white uniforms and
dashing red boots brought out
lamb soup called cheurba and the
famous dish couscous, which Is

wheat. Two young lambs had
roasted on spit outside the tent
and they were brought in now

Emily Post may be horrified, but
it is bad manners when attacking
the lamb to use anything but ones
fingers.

the thing to do, but stuffed and

cushions like a pasha and waited

in the South, is known for the
performers it produces. Troupes
of girls from the tribe live in Bou
Saada and can be hired for
parties. You can watch them
dance their sensuous numbers at
their place for about 35 cents a

Red Filter Needed.
| Infrared film does not come In
all the usual sizes but is plentiful
in both 35-mm. and the regular
cut film sheets of popular sizes.
For outdoor pictorial work your
regular camera equipment need be
supplemented only by red filter
which will be needed to filter out
the blues and reds of the visible
spectrum to which infrared f1lm Is
also sensitive.
If your first infrared shots are
slightly out of focus it will be be-
cause your particular lens does not
focus the reflected infrared rays
in the same exact plane as those
of the visible spectrum. This
phenomenon is caused because of
the difference in wave length Of
the two types of light rays. Only
a slight practical difference exists.
however, which can be con1pen-
sated for largely by shooting the
pictures with the lens stopped
down as far as possible. Some
lenses are marked for infrared
focusing but if your lens is not so
marked, few trial exposures will
indicate the degree of change nee
essary.
Flash shots at night by infrared
are another possibility worthy of
trial. A specially coated flash bulb
is needed for the job. 1t is inter-
esting to note that you can take
flash shots by infrared without the
subjects being aware of your activ-
ity for the bulb emits no visible
flash. However. the maximum ef-
fectiveness Of the infrared fash
bulb is only 20 feet and there is
always the problem Of determining
footage and location Of the subject.
1t is improbable that there will
be many times when you will have
use for infrared but it will come
in very handy when you do have
need for a film medium Of its
peculiar qualities. Give it a try
for some very unusual pictures,
