THE SPORTSMAN’S 
CAMERA 
(continued from page 525) 
less perchance he is a lover of flowers and 
wishes to bring home a few pictures of 
them. In such case he will be wise to 
spend an hour or two reading up on “or- 
thochromatic photography.” For the most 
part his concern over color values should 
lie in avoiding what a photographer labels 
“bald headed skies.” The emulsion on a 
film is very sensitive to blue light, so that 
blue objects photograph white; consequent¬ 
ly, blue skies appear blank white and utter¬ 
ly uninteresting and off value, unless the 
lens is capped with a ray filter. In my own 
outfit there are three, which are inter¬ 
changeable in one mount—home-made— 
so that bulk and weight are reduced. One 
is a “sky screen,” the upper half of which 
is colored, so that only the blue rays of 
the sky are cut out, thus toning it down 
to a gray against which white clouds will 
be imaged, if present when the exposure 
is made. This screen requires no extra 
time if full exposure has been calculated 
with tables or meter, and it does not alter 
the focal length of the lens. The second 
filter requires an increase of three times 
normal—a “x3 filter”—and is the most use¬ 
ful of the three for general purposes; it 
is the best to have in the outfit if but one 
is to be carried. It will give good cloud 
and sky values and fair correction for 
flower photography. The other filter is 
a “xjo” and gives very full correction, but 
is really not needed by the sportsman. If 
you have never used a filter, perhaps the 
need of it may never have been empha¬ 
sized ; but you will doubtless remember an 
occasional print in which clouds have ap¬ 
peared in the sky, to your great delight and 
zvonder, since ordinarily none were im¬ 
aged. They appeared because atmospheric 
and light conditions happened to be com¬ 
bined in a certain fashion. However, if 
you will use the filter the clouds can be 
recorded every time, or at least the sky 
given its right value, which is technically 
a worth while detail to work for, even 
though it may not add to the story telling 
quality of the picture, except in that it 
shows the weather conditions at the time 
the picture was made. 
A S a very good example, “A Vista in 
the Hills” is shown; my idea in mak¬ 
ing this was to record a typical 
scene in the beautiful hill country we were 
touring, seeking out the picturesque by¬ 
ways rather than the beaten trail. Much 
of the picture is sky, and had it been blank 
white instead of with a suggestion of 
clouds present, the effect would have been 
monotonous, and it would not have been 
truthful, especially if the cloud filled sky 
had been mentioned in telling a friend 
about the day. This was made with the 
help of the sky screen, the exposure be¬ 
ing 1/25 second at f : 8. 
The illustrations used thus far were 
made with a small camera of the type 
mentioned in “The Use of the Sportsman’s 
Camera” and bear out, better than any 
amount of argument, the claims made for 
the small camera in that article.

MOUNTAIN VIEW HOUSE 
No section popular alike with the sportsmen and the 
vacationer is so accessible as the Rangeley Lakes Region. 
At the head of the chain and most beautiful of all is 
Rangeley, or Oquossoc Lake, and at its lower end is the 
Mountain View House. 
Rangeley has been famous for years for its big fish, both 
trout and salmon. The Mountain View House has easy 
access to all the best fishing grounds. Not only are these 
lakes close at hand, but numerous ponds are scattered 
hereabouts, so that an abundance of both bait and fly 
fishing is afforded. 
The fishing season opens when the iie leaves the lakes 
and closes October 1st. The season for bird shooting 
begins September 15th. Send for Boooklet.
