. The American annual of photography. TOXOPHILUS. A DECORATIVE STUDY. EDWARD HENRY WESTON. 79 ling subjects, rather than those including many heavy or sub-dued parts. There are numerous occasions, as when filming state pro-cessions or other events that draw large crowds, where it isimpossible to find a suitable place at which the usual tripodcan be set up. At such times, the simple accessory illustratedby Figure i will be found invaluable. It consists of a bracketformed by two stout boards A and B, screwed firmly togetherand strengthened by angle pieces. A third narrower pieceof board C is held behind the bracket by two long wingednuts D and E, as shown, while at F is a hole for the camerascrew. This appliance can readily be clamped by means of the. Figure i. back piece and nuts to railings or posts, projecting parts ofgrand stands, and similar vantage points. Figure 2, for in-stance, shows it secured by permission to some railings sur-mounting a conveniently placed wall, on which there is justroom for the operator to stand. Needless to say, the bracketmust be so strongly made as to be free from all shake orvibration, and the nuts must be screwed up tightly. Theselected support should also be tested for solidity and might be expected, it is much more difficult to print asatisfactory positive film than to make a decent negative, andthose who find it troublesome will be wise to entrust theprinting to a trade firm. 80
