About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1888 Excerpt: ...like all thin negatives, be taken several feet distant, so that the time of exposure may perhaps extend to twenty seconds or more. During this time keep the sky portion covered with a piece of card which has been cut in Vandykes all along the edge next the horizon, but do not keep it still, but in gentle movement. This plan gives a clear sky, with the effect of a slight haze over the horizon, --an effect, I need hardly say, frequently seen in nature. Indeed, this hazy effect can often be extended to the landscape itself, with the most charming effect of atmosphere which an artist could desire. Another plan of treating a thin sky is to furnish it with clouds by the following simple method: --Paste over the glass side of the negative a piece of white tissue paper. When this is dry, hold it up to the light, and mark upon it the position of the horizon and the outline of any trees or other objects which may appear against the sky. Now, with a stump and a black pigment (such a pigment for use with the stump is sold by most artists' colourmen, --I do not know the name) rub in masses of cloud, taking care that their edges are ill-defined and fleecy. By this means a flat, tame-looking negative can be made to yield a beautiful picture. Any water in the composition can be treated in the same way, for it must be remembered that water reflects clouds as well as anything else. Where the sky is dense enough, but contains pin-holes or other blemishes, Bates's black varnish, painted on the plain glass side, is the best remedy; or the faults can be delicately stopped out by ordinary India ink on the film side. Where there is a large expanse of sky, the quickest method is to gum over it a piece of orange-coloured paper with a jagged edge. A lantern slide, otherwise perfect, wil
