rso distant contribute much towards such pictures. It is perhaps hardly necessary to say that successful pic-tures cannot be obtained as long as one can see the sun. Itmust be either behind a cloud, behind some object in the mid-distance or below the horizon. Of these alternatives the twolatter are better than the first, as if the sun is behind a cloudit is likely to give a very contrasty effect that has more theappearance of moonlight than of sunset, or to give a stormylook to the sky. As far as the technique of sunset photography is concernedthe main points are the use of a ray filter and orthochromatic,backed, plates. The filter should be fairly deep, about a five-times filter being my preference. In developing such nega-tives they should be kept thin, as otherwise the delicate cloUddetails are lost and the pictures are too contrasty. Theyshould be printed on glossy or semi-glossy paper, and if con-tact prints are made they are more effective on P.O.P. thanon the developing papers.
