126 THE SHIKARI 



Photography, especially field photography, has now 

 been reduced to such a fine point of simplicity that it 

 is not trouble that is involved but carefulness. 



Scientific Photography. — This by no means 

 covers all the work of field photography, as nothing 

 has been said about photography for surveys or 

 scientific purposes, as they hardly come within what 

 the shooting man may hope to do with only a limited 

 time at his disposal. 



However, if he can see his way to getting any data 

 for scientific purposes and visiting a country from which 

 little has been recorded, he cannot be better advised 

 than to call on the authorities interested in such 

 work and learn from them exactly what they may 

 require. 



The man with an inquiring mind will not only have 

 gathered that photography is not so formidable a 

 subject as many amateurs imagine, but that the 

 subjects it can cover are legion, and the pleasure to 

 be extracted from so absorbing an hobby is unlimited, 

 both at the time and in after-years. 



There are many who even now find as much excite- 

 ment in hunting big game with the camera as with the 

 rifle, and though it is too much to expect the sportsman 

 to abandon his gun altogether, many a fine duplicate 

 can be bagged in this way and be hung on the wall 

 as a trophy enclosed in a frame instead of on a 

 shield.
