64 Photography for the Sportsman Naturalist 



Direct enlargements from the negatives upon 

 bromide paper are easy to make if we have the 

 proper appliances. We must have a dark room 

 for this purpose fitted with a specially arranged 

 camera, and the source of light must be either 

 daylight or electric light (gas or lamplight is not 

 strong enough). I cannot now go into a detailed 

 account of this process, as it would necessitate a 

 small volume to properly describe it and the nec- 

 essary apparatus. For those who wish to use it, 

 however, I should advise the perusal of " Photo- 

 Miniature," No. 1 6, published by Tennant and 

 Ward, 289 Fourth Avenue, New York City, for 

 it gives full and explicit directions much better 

 than could I. 



For making enlarged negatives an enlarging 

 camera is necessary, and we must first make a 

 positive on glass or celluloid and the enlarged 

 negative from that. 



There are many occasions that arise where the 

 background of a picture is bad and we wish to 

 eliminate it while preserving the image of the 

 main object. There are two ways of accomplish- 

 ing this. The simplest is to make a dead-white 

 background by " stopping out " all but the image 

 we wish to preserve. This is done by painting 

 out the entire background with a preparation 

 which is known as "opaque." One's hand must 

 needs be very steady to do this successfully
