The Light.
In order to more surely get a proper exposure at
all times, it is well to remember that: a seascape
requires the quickest exposure ; that an open land-
scape requires about three times as long ; that fore-
ground, nearby objects, buildings, etc., about six
times ;
portraits inside under good light about one
hundred times; that the light in June is about
four times as effective as it is in December; that
the light from 10 a. m. to 2 p. m. is more than
twice as actinic as from 4 to 6 o'clock; that
it is

the speed of the shutter must be quickened in-

versely as the distance to the object photographed,
the latter having a given movement; and that a
large lens is not more rapid than a small one if

the proportion of diaphragm to focus remains

unchanged.

Tele-Photo Lenses.
Some interesting results have been achieved in
moving pictures using tele-photo lenses. The
method is not recommended except where it is im-
possible to obtain the same result in the ordinary
manner.
