ton in certain specific condi-
tionS.
The exposure guide should
not be considered in the same
light as the electric cell ex-
posure meter which gives exact
exposure readings for any sit
uation where light can be
measured. Practically all
monochrome films have such a
wide exposure latitude that
reasonably good results can be
obtained with the guide under
normal conditions.
An extension tube" is one
at the end of which a lens can
be installed to increase the
distance between the lens and
the focal plane for the purpose
of securing extreme closeups Of
small objects. In the long run
it Is more practical to use q
portrait attachment or supple
mentary lens for this purpose.
Hos Two Meanings
The focal length" Of a lens
is established by measuring
the distance between the OPP
tical center of the lens and
the point where the image Of
an object at inflnity is formed.
This point, in your camera, is
the film plane.
The word grain" has two
meanings in photography.
Most commonly the word re-
fers to the notified appear
ance Of either a negative or
print caused by the clumping
Of silver. grains in the emul-
sion while development is
taking place. On the other
hand, when measuring dry
chemicals. a grain is a unit
of weight.
A "cable shutter release" is
a device for opening and
closing the camera shutter. It
is a wire that travels freely
through q metal or fabric
casing. At one end is a screw
attachment for fastening it
to the shutter. At the other
end is the, knob which actu-
ates the wire when pressure is
applied or released to open
or close the shutter.
Light rays falling on a
highly polished surface are re-
f1ected back in the same di-
rection and are called "specu-
lar reflections. But light rays
striking a rough or uneven
surface bounce of in many
directions and are called "dif-
fuse reflections"

Writer Defines Terms
For Snapshot Amateurs
Comero Angles
By Alexander J. WeddeFbuFn
Curator Of Photography
The SrithSonion Institution

Writers on photography
sometimes forget that terms
which have long been familiar
to them are not so well known
to their readers. AS a result
many newcomers to photog-
raphy are, from time to time,
somewhat mystified by some Of
the casual references made to
common terms and phrases
which are part and parcel of
the photographers cant.
To help clear the air we
present another inStallment in
our glossary Of Photographic
Technology.
The term ''backwind" refers
to the mechanism of q mo-
ton picture protector which
allows the film to be reWound
on its original reel after pro-
lection. Films should always
be rewound after showing, so
they will be ready for the next
projection run.
The ball and socket head"
Of q tripod is q ball and socket
arrangement which permits
the camera to be clamped at
any angle. Not all tripods are
80 equipped, but this type head
can be purchased separately
and substituted for the ordi-
nary tilt head. It is especial
" useful when making ex-
treme tits where the ordinary
head might slip because Of
added starin.
UndbIe to Focus
# q lens is said to have
"chromatic alteration" this
means that the lens Is unable
to focus the light rays Of diff
ferent wave lengths In the
same plane. A lens with this
fault will render q blurred
image if any light other than
monochromatic is used. Most
lenses (modern) are corrected
for this and other similar
faults.
A "deliquescent" substance
Is one which will readily absorb
moisture from the air and dis
solve in it. Certain photo
graphic chemicals such as
calcium chloride and sodium
hydroxide are deliquescent. For
this reason it is a good policy
to keep ale your darkroom
chemicals tightly closed or
"stoppered."
Gives Settings
An exposure guide" is a
summarized table which will
give you shutter and lens stop
settings for correct exposures
under generally recognizable
lighting conditions. These
guides are usually printed on
small cards which are pack
aged with film. Others, in more
elaborate form, can be pur-
chased at any camera store.
They are useful when you can
recognize the general condi-
tions described but may not be
relied upon for exact informa-

Solarization will produce un-
