 at No. I, the numbers can be carried right through 

 the whole series. 



The Taking op^ Photos. — Finally a word or two 

 may be said about the taking of photos, grouping, 

 position for typical views, etc. ; though really little 

 can be written on this subject, as it is all a matter of 

 practice. However, the intending photographer cannot 

 be better advised than to study many of the books 

 on travel and judge for himself what he considers to 

 be good photographs and so follow these for grouping, 

 position, etc. He also can obtain the numerous 

 manuals that are given away with the cameras or 

 can be purchased for a very small sum ; which give 

 concise and useful points with regard to light, focusing, 

 etc., for each particular make of camera. 



In fact, if he has in his mind's eye many of the 

 pleasing photos that have been so often published, 

 and will take a little trouble in carefully following the 

 directions given with the camera he purchases, and can 

 find a few minutes to be shown how to develop his 

 negatives, which is after all only a simple matter 

 requiring care, he ought to get quite good results even 

 at the outset of his trip.
