large black spots on the print,
depending upon whether it
Is made by contact or by en-
largement. The only way to
remove such a blemish is to
scrape the spot OF the print
surface with a razor blade and
then NIL in the spot with a
spotting pencil to match the
surrounding area. This is a
tedious and time-consuming
procedure-and one that you
will not care to encounter
twice.
Air bells can be prevented
from forming on a Aim by
constant agitation during de-
velopment. It will also help to
hitter the developing solution
before each reuse to remove
small particles that may have
found their way into the
liquid.
Fog and Stain Faults
Negatives or prints some
times show an overall fog.
This can and often Is caused
by either an unsafe safelight
or an overly warm developing
solution. Overdevelopment can
also cause this condition as can
. light leak in the darkroom.
Negatives and prints that
show . stain can usually be
traced to a developing or fix-
ing bath that has been weak
ened through repeated use or
contaminated in some way. In
such a case examine your de-
veloper. for signs Of discolora-
ton. and the fixing bath. for a
milky or yellow color.
Blistering and Scratches
A blistering or frilling at the
edges OF the emulsion of the
negative Is a sign that in some
way your developer was far too
warm. And If a fine network of
lines (reticulation appears on
the fllm you will know that A
great difference in tempera-
ture among the processing So
luton existed.
Another cause for anguish is
one or more scratches in the
emulsion Of the negative. This
can be the result Of careless
handling but. more often than
not, 1t is caused by grit that
has found its way into q film
holder or camera. Sponges or
cotton swabs that are used to
remove excess water from n
film can also harbor this
culprit.
Even water can cause spots
on q negative II allowed to dry
IN droplets. To prevent this
simply sponge on the negative
and follow this by immersinR
the film In q wetting agent
solution.

CAMERA ANGLES
BY A. J. WEDDERBURN
Curator OF Photography
The Smithsonian Institution


Few things can be so annoy
ing to a photographer AS a
negative or print which has
been ruined through some APP
parentiy unexplainable cir
cumstance. Since it has been
proved, to the satisfaction of
most. that Gremlins do not IN
fact exist we must look Else
where for answers.
Most defects in negatives
and prints are traceable di-
rectly to an error or oversight
on the part of the darkroom
worker. Seldom. if ever, can
the maker Of film. paper. or
chemical product be blamed
for some Of the unfortunate
things that happen to films
and prints. Years of expert
ments. checks and counter
checks have gone into the
products used in photography;
hence. as a rule, there is no
one to blame out yourself
when things go wrong in the
darkroom.
So when you pull a batch Of
negatives or prints from the
fixing bath and find scratches.
spots. stains, etc., it is high
time TO look for shortcomings
close to home.
Although most of us use
prepared chemical mixes for
our processing solutions, there
are still q goodly number who
prefer to roll their own This
is a commendable practice only
If directions for compromising
q formula are carried out to
the letter.

Causes Of Defects
In Prints, Negatives

A developing formula is the
result Of careful experiments
that have the stamp of APP
proval of topflight scientists.
To trifle with their work is to
invite trouble. When a formula
calls for a gram, use a gram
and not just a pinch, because
any variation will throw the
entire compound out Of
balance.
Another thing to follow
exactly is the order in which
chemicals Of a formula are to
be added to a solution. Ger
tain chemicals will not dis
solve properly in the wake of
certain others. so the order
recommended should be the
order followed.
Temperatures should be
rigidly controlled since process
ing times given will produce
top results only if certain tenn
peratures are observed. A too
cool solution can easily result
in underdevelopment even
though you were careful to mix
the formula exactly. An overly
warm solution can just as
easily mean an overdeveloped
negative.
PinhOies and Air Bells
Many camera fans are
troubled with pinholes or tiny
clear areas on the processed
negative. These are the result
Of air bells, or small particles
Of matter, that adhere to the
film and prevent the solution
from coming into contact with
the affected area.
