The American annual of photography . has to study different parts of the picture. This applies toprints as well, although being on a smaller scale it is harderto define.

A lens equipment ofthis character on 3^4 x 4^^ not only gives good perspective, butis a great aid on those subjects that are difficult to approach. For photography in connection with nature study use ortho-chromatic plates or films. If you use plates, go a step fur-ther and use panchromatic, wherever possible, with the propercolor filter. The above remarks apply to an ideal outfit. However,dont forget that contrary to what sometimes seems to be thegeneral opinion, the apparatus is not the whole story. Justbecause you make a good picture, isnt all because you havea fine lens, and whatever outfit you have remember the quo-tation from Dan Beard, go out and study nature, let yourcamera be your A COMING SHOWER.
