The American annual of photography . until a bigwave is headed for shore, and snap the shutter as it you wait until the spray is seen to rise to the full height thechances are against catching the maximum effect on the film,because of the fraction of time which must elapse before theshutter can operate. Beaches in pleasant weather, and the waterfront of pic-turesque ports, offer attractive subjects, with or withoutfigures, but if people are included see that they fit in with thescene and dont stop their work to stare at the camera. Vessels, both in port and under sail, are nearly always pleas-ing. When taken from shore it is possible to give quite a slowshutter exposure without danger of blurring, but if one is ona moving boat it is safer to use a speed of 1/50 to i/ioosecond, on account of the double motion of subject and good light, and shutter set for these speeds, a rather smalllens stop (No. 16 or 32) is correct for shipping in the openbetween 9 a. m. and 3 p. m., but in early morning, or when 20. <o m W o p WH w 21 taking sunsets over the water, the largest stop of an ordinarylens will not admit too much light. Owing to the amount of reflected light found at the seashore,it may be stated as a general guide that average subjects foundalong shore need only half the exposure of an open landscapeinland, while views taken afloat may be given one-quarter thetime. When developing, keep the negatives moderately thin, so asto preserve the delicate detail and gradation of tone in sky andwater, which contribute so much to the charm of a good marinepicture.
