Photography and the Sportsman 25 



But why not combine the use of the two judi- 

 ciously ? It is an easy thing to do, and the two 

 sports need not conflict with each other. Many 

 sportsmen now carry small kodaks with them on 

 their trips to the woods. These, while answer- 

 ing some purposes, do not give as satisfactory re- 

 sults as would a different camera better suited to 

 the work ; and it is my intention, in this volume, 

 to give to the sportsman who wishes either to 

 actually give up his gun for a camera or to com- 

 bine the use of the two, full and explicit direc- 

 tions, not only as to how he should use his outfit, 

 but the best outfit for the different uses. 



He who does thus combine photographing 

 with his other sports afield will find the pleasures 

 of his outing doubled. He can bring home with 

 him not only trophies in the way of antlers and 

 skins, but also pictures of the game he was seek- 

 ing, taken in their native haunts. He can make 

 photographs of his companion, for few travel 

 alone, capturing the prize fish of the trip, for it is 

 entirely possible to photograph jumping fish, pro- 

 vided one has the proper outfit and is quick 

 enough. He can have innumerable mementos 

 that will prove a lasting pleasure, and which, dur- 

 ing the months that he must spend in the city or 

 town, will serve to take him back in memory, 

 away from the haunts of men, to the woods ; 

 and he can, while looking over them, live again
