exposure of 1850 second was
made through a K2 filter.
Analysis by Harry B. Shaw
of the Society: A study of the
print makes it apparent that
the focus was set at approxi-
mately the hyerfocal distance
of the lens. This, when the
aperture was adjusted to f:22,
yielded a rather sharp image.

rays Of the setting sun, throw

phasized by the grotesque
bolls protruding from the trunk

The original print indicates
considerable skill in the de-
velopment of the film because,
although the full tonal capac-
ity of the Kodabromide paper
is utilized. detail is discernible
even in the darkest parts Of
the print. On the other hand,
only the crests of the surf
show spots of pure white. The
use of the light yellow filter
has restrained the actinism of
the sky, resulting in a softly
diffused tone, graduated by
