PHOTOGRAPHS OF 
THE TRIP 
(CONTINUED FROM PAGE 307) 
camera back off, pulling out front to 
limit, and looking at strong light 
through the bellows. If you see a speck 
of light, cover it with a black piece of 
gummed paper, or a piece of adhesive 
tape blackened with ink. Only rem- 
edy: streaks may be reduced by com- 
petent photographer. 
Black streaks persist after filling hole 
in bellows. 
Cause: more holes. Be sure to get 
them all. Light may enter through de- 
fective shutter mounting or broken 
shutter leaves. Only remedy, of course, 
is to have camera repaired. Always 
test camera before going on trip. 
Image on film blurred. Some portions 
sharp, while others are blurred. Por- 
tions more blurred than others. 
Cause: not correctly focussed. Pre- 
ventative; estimate the distance of sub- 
ject correctly, and set indicator correct- 
ly on focussing scale. If you have 
trouble in estimating distance, get a Mc- 
Millan’s Dictograph. ($1.25.) And use 
it. Remedy: none. 
Image blurred all over. Picture 
seems to have been smeared in one direc- 
tion on film. 
Cause: camera was moved as expos- 
ure was made. Never make an exposure 
longer than 1/10 second without a tripod 
or camera resting on something firm. 
Preventative : take a deep breath, spread 
feet wide apart, and steady body; then 
expose. No movement will be seen ex- 
cept in very long exposures, such as 1/5 
second. No remedy. 
Transparent white spots on film. 
Cause: air bubbles clung to film while 
in developer. Preventative: when using 
tray, wet film with water before develop- 
ing. In tank method, move reel up and 
down several times with hook before 
covering. No remedy. 
Yellow spots on film. 
Cause: air bubbles during fixing. 
Preventative: examine film for air bub- 
bles, and burst by pressing with finger. 
Remedy: sometimes can be removed by 
fixing film again. 
After prolonged drying, some spots of 
film remain wet. Finally white crystals 
and powder form on film. 
Cause: insufficient washing. Pre- 
ventative: wash the film for at least a 
half hour in running water, or in twelve 
changes, still water, each use five min- 
utes. Remedy: wash film again thor- 
oughly. 
Yellow spots and streaks of large 
area on film. 
Cause : film removed from fixing bath 
too soon. Preventative: leave in fixing 
bath ten minutes after all yellow disap- 
pears. Remedy: replace in fixing bath. 
All of stain will perhaps not be removed. 
Film wrinkles up and edges leave sup- 
porting medium. 
Cause: known as frilling. Caused by 
solutions too hot, or too great a differ- 
ince in temperature between different 
baths. Preventative: have all baths of 
correct, normal temperatures. Do not 
add cold or hot water to solution to 
change temperature, but place hot or 
cold water around the tray or tank. No 
remedy. 
Film is very black all over. Picture 
seems to be hidden under a black haze, 
which extends to the blank portions be- 
tween the exposed sections. 
Cause: white light got to film before 
or during development. Night too light, 
or ruby lamp leaks. Preventative : work 
only on very dark nights. Test ruby 
lamp by unrolling ipart of roll, exposing 
to red light, then re-rolling as before. 
Develop that film roll in darkness, with- 
out any light at all. If part exposed 
comes out gray, lamp leaks. Get an- 
other if possible, or learn to work in 
darkness. No remedy. 
Whole image seems very dense and 
black. All parts much darker than they 
should be. 
Cause: either over-development or 
over-exposure. Preventative : if you are 
sure you developed for correct time for 
the temperature of developer, shorten 
your exposures for same class of sub- 
jects. Moral: get and use an exposure 
meter. Remedy: film can he reduced. 
Black streaks extend from edge of film 
toward center at varying distances, look- 
ing like icicles. 
Cause: film rolled too loosely. White 
light got to it. Preventative : film 
should be rolled tightly enough to bring 
edges of film between spool ends. Rem- 
edy: none. 
Black streaks extending wliole length 
of film, looking like scratches. 
Cause: film was “cinched” (rolled too 
tightly). Do not attempt to roll film 
tighter than is necessary to keep it well 
between spool ends. No remedy. 
Film becomes soft, slippery, and wrin- 
kles up, spoiling pictures. 
Cause: known as reticulation. Devel- 
oper too hot, or same causes as frilling. 
Preventative: •same as for frilling. No 
remedy. 
Black spot in center of film. 
Cause: picture taken against light. 
Preventative : if sun shines on lens when 
exposing, shade it. Remedy: spot may 
be reduced by competent photographer. 
Two images superimposed on one film 
section. 
Cause : forgot to turn new section, and 
two pictures were made on one film sec- 
tion. 
THE PORCUPINE AS FOOD 
An animal, purely a vegetarian, that 
plays great havoc with gardens all 
through this country, is the porcupine. 
Sometimes, all of the garden stuff on 
outlying ranches in this section is com- 
pletely destroyed by this pest. One of 
our rangers trapped a good many porc- 
upines in his garden at a ranger sta- 
tion last summer, and he and his family 
used them to a considerable extent as 
food. I have eaten porcupine meat on 
several occasions during the past sum- 
mer and found it to be quite palatable. 
Only for the fact that the meat is 
coarser in texture, one could imagine 
he was eating beef — provided of course, 
that the porcupine is young. — Wm. S.
