Text Appearing Before Image:
y 97 objectionable, and if a point of view is taken so that the skydoes not appear in the picture, and the majority of the pictureis in the shade, a good soft picture is obtained. A place shouldbe selected where the shade is very light. While it is a good idea to give sufficient exposure, it is alsowell to know to what extent one can go beyond the meter inunder-exposure and still expect good results. There are casesin which a picture may be wanted badly, and it may be betterto get it at the expense of contrast and even possibly black ornearly black shadows, if not too numerous, than to let it gountaken. The shadows in the immediate foreground are theruling factors that determine the extent to which one canunder-expose. With no close shadows considerable under-exposure may be given and good results obtained by develop-ing with a half powder, and when the hght is uniform (allsunlight or all shadow) still further under-exposure may begiven and the negatives developed with a whole powder.
