Not only is the panchromatic plate or 
film essential for red and deep yellow 
flowers, but it gives, when used with 
the Ilford Gamma filter or the Wratten 
K, filter, a better rendition of all colors, 
and even a white flower and its green 
leaves have better tonal values when 
taken on a panchromatic. There is an¬ 
other matter in which the panchromatic 
is superior, the increase in exposure 
with any given filter is much less with 
a panchromatic than with an ortho 
plate. Thus the K 3 filter requires an 
increase of 25 times when used on an 
ortho plate, but only 4V 2 times when 
used with a panchro. When the ex¬ 
posure, without a filter, runs, as it often 
does, to 3, 4, or 5 seconds, an increase 
of 4 1 /2 times is quite feasible, but an 
increase of 25 times is often prohibi¬ 
tive, because of the danger of move¬ 
ment of the plant by wind during this 
lengthy exposure. 
When about to photograph a certain 
species of plant it is advisable to devote 
some little time to the selection of the 
most typical and most favorably situ¬ 
ated specimen which can be found in 
the vicinity, and having selected it, to 
study carefully the best side, and the 
best angle, from which to take it. Too 
high a view-point is one of the very 
common faults in plant photography, 
and many small plants make the most 
effective pictures when the camera is 
within six or eight inches of the ground. 
The nature of the background is of 
the utmost importance in plant photog¬ 
raphy. This matter may be handled 
in three ways—the use of the natural 
background in focus, the natural back¬ 
ground out of focus, and an artificial 
background out of focus. The natural 
background in focus is the most satis¬ 
factory, because it shows not only the 
plant we are dealing with, but also its 
habitat, but it is by far the most diffi¬ 
cult background to handle successfully. 
The difficulty in handling this kind of 
background lies chiefly in the fact that 
all the plants in the picture being 
equally sharp, the details of the plant 
we wish to emphasize are lost in the 
infinite detail of the background and the 
general result is a jumble of conflicting 
lines and points. This background can, 
however, be used efficiently if very 
great care is used in arranging the po¬ 
sition of the camera so that the most 
important lighter parts of the principal 
subject come in front of the shadows 
and darker parts of the background. 
This means the devoting of considerable 
time to changing the height and lateral 
position of the camera, to a critical 
study of the composition on the ground- 
glass, to the bending aside of certain 
objects in the background, and to mak¬ 
ing sure that there will be no move¬ 
ment of light foliage in the background 
by the breeze at times when our princi¬ 
pal subject is motionless. The use of
