o be of all-round use, must be arranged sothat it may be pointed directly downward or upward.A picture of a strider that I once used was madewith the camera pointing almost straight down. Ihad been asked to make a picture that would showthe insect and his peculiar shadow. After tryingmany times and without success to secure such apicture while the insects were in a small stream, Ifinally had to catch some of the lively little creatures,and put them in a white-lined box with about aninch of water.
