The American annual of photography . a K3 filter, butmostly not. I get my clouds by stopping down. The lens isan anastigmat of F7. It is my aim to produce on the filma sharp, clear picture of what I see. This small, sharp nega-tive is then enlarged, either in its entirety or portions of it,upon a smooth semi-matt paper. Personally I use Arturaextra heavy. I enlarge always up to 8 x 10. These 8 x 10 prints are worked up as follows: Take adrop or two of megilp, add to it five or six drops of turpen-tine, place a piece of cloth over your finger and mix thesetogether. Have two tubes of water color

These 8 x 10 prints are worked up as follows: Take adrop or two of megilp, add to it five or six drops of turpen-tine, place a piece of cloth over your finger and mix thesetogether. Have two tubes of water color, one of ivory blackand the other of white. To fix up a bald-headed sky—touch the cloth (after mixing the megilp and turpentine) toa little ivory black, rub smooth on the bottom of a white dishor glass plate, and then rub over the entire sky with yourfinger covered by the cloth. After this has set, say for fiveor ten minutes, fold a clean piece of cloth over your fingerand rub out places on the sky, representing clouds, blend 228. t^ s •to •2 229 these together. By a Httle practice all types, of skies may beput in. Shadows in the landscape may be accentuated by useof the ivory black. In the same way planes of the picture may be separatedby using the white for the distance. By using black or whiteon a small stump you can modify your original print in manyways to improve its pictorial value. When the 8 x lo printis worked up to suit you, place it on an easel and copy it witha soft focus lens up to any size negative you wish. Person-ally I use an II X 14 commercial film and a Verito lens. Withthe finished large negative you may print in any medium youwish. My exhibition prints of late have all been multiplegums. By the use of the small camera we may make many ex-posures at small expense. Let me finish by saying that thegreatest help to me is in placing every film I make in theenlarging lantern and studying its pictorial possibilities whenviewing it many times enlarged upon t
