Figure 9.— This picture violates most of the rules governing a good photograph. 

 The position of the boat emphasizes the unconventional viewpoint from which the 

 photograph was taken. The light areas and confusing shapes and lines draw the 

 reader's attentionfromthe main subject—the purse-seine rings in the foreground. 

 Photographs should always have a point of view that eliminates such conflict be- 

 tween the main subject and its surroundings. 



Each print should be correctly numbered and properly- 

 identified. Never type or write across the back of a print: 

 it indents the paper and the marks may show in reproduc- 

 tion; instead, type the figure legend on a strip of paper 

 and attach it to the bottom edge of the print with acetate 

 tape. The legend should carry all the information neces- 

 sary to an understanding of the photograph. 



Handle the prints carefully avoiding smudges from your 

 fingers. Caution: Never use paper clips on your photographs.
