Camera Angles:
Sharpness in Pictures
Calls for Constant Care
By Alexander J. Wedderburn
Curator Of Photography

surface or because you careleSsly
left fingerprints on the front
element. Always wipe the lens
carefully with lens tissue before
going out to take pictures. Check
it between exposures for clean
illness. A lens cap is good in
Surance against dirt or dust
when the camera is not in use.
Also be doubly sure that the
lens is seated firmly in position
when you switch from one lens
to another and when using a
supplementary lens, be certain
to get the front surface of this
lens In proper position-facing
the subject. ..
Use the shutter release with
care and gentleness. If you are
in too big a hurry you may jar
the camera with the release.
Move the release very slowly
you hear the shutter click. If
you observe all these precautions
and still find your negative is
not sharp, it will be advisable
to have the camera checked for
trouble at the pressure plate
that holds the film on a fiat
plane.
Core in EnIoreine
Getting a sharp image on the
film is not the final answer to q
sharp print. Most of the pre-
cautions taken with the camera
must also be taken with the
enlarger and some with the con-
tact printer. When using the
enlarger, be sure that the pro-
jected image is at maximum
of sharpness. Check the focus
until you are satisfied that the
image is needle Sharp-then
stop down the enlarger lens as
an added precaution. See that
there is no dirt, smudges or
fingerprints on negative, glass
surfaces of the film carrier or
lens. Don't jar the enlarger and
set up vibration during the ex-
posure. Make certain that the
printing paper is exactly parallel
to the negative-the easel can
become slightly titled by some
small unnoticed object under
Meath. And don't allow the pa
per to buckle on the easel. This
can happen if the paper has any
tendency to curl.
Films and papers also play a
part in image sharpness. Films
of nigh resolving power will al
low greater enlargement with
less loss of sharpness during the
size increase. And for maximum
clarity of detail in the print.
select a glossy-surface paper.
Matte or rough surface papers
tend to minimize the sharpness
and detail that the great ma
jority of us want in the final
print.

wood columns. No doubt this is
caused by the fact that they are
hollow and absorb great amount
OF moisture. Not being able to

ever had occasion to pay for new
columns. you know what they cost.
Good-looking columns can be

height and thickness, the effect is
satisfactory.

the painting is most important.
Paint Inside First.
Aside from the usual three
coats of paint for the finished lob,
a column will stand up better and
give many more years of service
II the wood IS given a coat Of
heavy paint before it is cut and
assembled. Naturally, it win be
impossible to paint the inside Of
the column after 1t is erected. SO
it must be attended to before It
Is nailed together.
Some experts, claim that a
column should have three or four
holes bored through ct the tor
and bottom for drying purposes,
The place for these is at the back
or on one side. Others disapree
with this theory. However, paint
ing the inside is essential.
