Even under th&sefavorable conditions, taking the picture onan ordinary plate (Seed 23) as shown inthe first illustration made the honey appearlike a dark amber. If the honey itself hadreally been an amber honey, this first pic-ture would have shown the honey very dark—almost black. The second picture of theseries was taken in exactly the same way,except that a panchromatic plate (StandardPanchromatic) was used. Notice that thehoney appears a little lighter. The thirdpicture was made with a iDanchromatic. Four pictures of the same jar of honpy. No. 1.—Photographed on Seed 23 plate, no filter. No. 2.—Photographed on Panchromatic plate, no filter.

The lastpicture was taken on a panchromatic platewith a K-3 filter, Avhich, as can be seen,has the effect of making the honey appearalmost water-white. The K-3 filter andthe panchromatic plate is the right combi-nation for average photogTaphing of honey;but under very favorable cireumBtanoeswhere the honey is very light, and has a white background, the K-1 filter givesabout the right tone. Beekeepers who owncameras might not be able to use just thiscombination, especially in case of film cam-eras; but if a photographer is employed,insist on his using a K-3 filter and aIDanehromatie plate.
