Hypo (plain crystals) 300 grains. Water, 80 ozs. The film must be thoroughly soaked in water before immersion in the above bath. Do not treat the whole film until you have tried the effect on a small sample piece. LIGHTING—(H.E., Finchley, N.3.) Using your widest aperture, f/3.5, and P.S.P. film, to light a scene measuring six feet wide, with the lamps well bunched round the scene, would take between five and six kilowatts, if you wish to secure a reasonably high-key effect. FOGGING—(N.L.C., Dukinfield). The fogging which is occurring is almost certainly due to a light leak into the camera. The position of the fog patch in relation to the first frame of the shot is identical in the samples you submit. When the film is travelling through the gate the leak is not sufficient to cause fogging, but when the camera is temporarily laid aside and_ the film is stationary the action of the extraneous light is taking effect on the same portion of the film. The extent of the fogging is probably governed more by the strength and angle at which light is striking the leak hole than by the time the film | is actually stationary in the camera. | The position of the fogging indicates that light is reaching the film between the gate and the exit from the loaded compartment of the charger. The light-trap join between is, of course, suspect. If the leak is not obvious and does not lend itself to a simple remedy, the camera should be returned to the makers for inspection. BUCKLED FILM—(F. W.G., Liver pool 4). ! There are two most likely causes of buckled film. The first is the use of | an excess of cement when splicing. The action of cement is to dissolve or partly dissolve the film and under its action the film tends to change shape. iE 334 For Your Bookshelf MODERN PHOTOGRAPHY FOR AMATEURS Every keen cine worker needs a copy of this book, which gives a comprehensive survey of the whole field of Modern Photography. i 6 from all Booksellers & Bookstalls,or by post 1/8 from A.
