The American annual of photography . ocus, the advantages gained by getting near an object andstill getting it sharp are obvious, though naturally it is con-siderably offset by the increase in exposure. In using the various stops for pictorial effects, no set rulecan be followed, as no two subjects bear the same universal rule is to bring the foreground and principalobject into sharpness by focusing on a point where with theuse of a suitable sized stop the desired result will be obtainedthrough equalizing the depth of definitions performed by eachof the factors. Do not imagine that the smallest sized stop will alwaysgive the most pleasing result. The opposite is oftener thecase, as the human eye is the judge, and its decision is basedon its own facility to take in the various planes of a subjectin rotation. For a beginner we should say that F/8 for portraits andF/16 for landscapes are the favorites. Try these and learn thelesson, then experiment for results that will give pleasure toyour artistic tastes. 277. ON GUARD. SAMUEL n-^RAN
