PHOTOGRAPHING ANIMALS 
O NE of the most interesting and in¬ 
structive forms of recreation is 
“camera hunting.” This is a blood¬ 
less sport that meets universal approval. 
There is no law against it, no closed sea¬ 
son, and every animal is “game” to the 
camera or kodak. 
While it is readily understood that tak¬ 
ing pictures of moving animals is a branch 
of photography that requires the best of 
lenses and the most skilled artist, it would 
seem at first thought that a resting animal 
would be just as easily “caught” as any 
form of still life, or people. The differ¬ 
ence lies in the liability to move. Seldom 
do we get a chance at a wild animal in re¬ 
pose, and if we do, and it moves at the 
wrong time, away goes our calculation— 
unless we have counted on the possibility 
of such an occurrence and prepared for it. 
These pictures of the wilds are a vastly 
different proposition from indoor work, 
and they usually are as much more desir¬ 
able as they are harder to get. We all 
recognize the superiority of the uncon¬ 
scious, natural view over the “pose,” and 
the former is what the camera hunter al¬ 
ways gets. 
You can take a kodak or “most any old 
camera” and go out and get more or less 
satisfactory views of still life, scenery, etc., 
but if you want the very finest animal pic¬ 
tures, “natural” ones—a running deer, a 
flying hawk, a climbing squirrel or a jump¬ 
ing fish—you must have a high-class in¬ 
strument. Get a 3A Graflex, the “fastest” 
you can, and have your lens large enough 
to cover a plate one size larger than the 
plates you intend to use, so that you will 
have ample length of focus. Otherwise, 
short range pictures of moving objects 
may prove failures. 
The best size for a camera that is to be 
carried so much is 4 by 5. You must de¬ 
pend on making enlargements later. Or- 
thochromatic plates are best for your pur¬ 
pose. A focussing cloth is of particular 
value in this outdoor work, enabling you 
to protect the plate from light when for 
any reason you must leave the camera in 
position while you “disappear,” or attend 
to something else. Also, be prepared with 
some rubber tubing, so that you can re¬ 
lease the shutter from a distance, when 
necessary; all kinds of odd conditions de¬ 
velop in this work. A small plate glass 
mirror is another essential; if you intend 
to photograph such things as bird-nests 
this will light the scene by reflection. You 
will find it handy in several ways. 
Your pack on such expeditions must be 
as light as possible without leaving out 
necessary articles. If you are going to be 
out only two or three days, it is a mistake 
to load yourself down with plates. You 
are not going to get anything like the num¬ 
ber of opportunities that he who seeks 
views finds. It may take you several days 
to use a dozen plates—but if you get two 
or three, or even one, real live picture out 
of them, you will be well repaid. 
There is a world of art in stalking ani¬ 
mals, and you will find every wile of the 
big game hunter of use. Most animals are 
alert, suspicious and swift, and to be suc¬ 
cessful the photographer must sharpen 
every faculty. Sudden noise is more apt
