The Modern way in picture making : published as an aid to the amateur photographer . , etc. SECTION 5. THE RISING AND SLIDINGFRONT.

To assist in cor-recting this fault some cameras areprovided with a rising front, which maybe utilized in cutting out an undesirableforeground or to assist in taking in thetop of a high building, etc. To illus-trate this we take the Screen FocusKodak, which is manipulated as follows: Fig. I shows how to raise or lower p^^ ^ the front. The rising front is controlled by rack and pinion operated by turning milled head, Fig. I. To raise orlower front, pull out on the milled head and it will turn easily. Letting goof the milled head allows pinion to spring back and front is locked. The front can be moved to the right or left (up and down when Kodakis placed on its side for vertical exposure) by turning to right lever. MAKLXG THE EXPOSiRES. I beneath the shutter, Fig. II., and sHd-ing front in either direction to thedesired position. The front is lockedin position by pushing le\er to through using, repeat operationshown in Fig. II. by sliding front topoint in center where it catches andlock it. In order to make a sharp picturewhen using the rising front it will beFig, II. better to use a small stop (No. 32 or 64) and as this in turn necessitates atime exposure, a tripod or other firm support must be pro\-ided. Experi-ence alone can teach the many ways in which the rising and sliding frontmay be used for composing artistic pictures. ^^-
