tions by photographing a reflected image in a plate glass window, Scene 95, page 71. Be sure to expose and focus for the window and not for the reflected picture; at the same time allowing one stop more than would be necessary in photographing the picture direct. This same idea can be used in photographing the scenes contained in a garden globe. A scene thus made will be particularly effective if the globe is so situated that it shows automobiles passing in the street or other action as the moving objects Avill take on many odd forms. Remember once more and focus the camera on the globe and not for the scene itself. I discovered this important point for myself five years ago while photographing into a globe at Lake Louise, in Alberta, and then turned right around, without thinking last summer while taking the same subject, and made the error of focusing on the scene. Result — out of focus film for the ash can. So let me reiterate, focus for the window or the globe and not for the scene.
Some interesting results can be gained by making progressive pictures. Suppose your office window overlooks the construction of a new skyscraper. Building operations have just commenced, or better still, the}' are now tearing down the old building to make way for the new. Have a set tripod placed near the window so the camera will always be in the same position, (if this is not possible arrange a table or a box, with the angle lines carefully marked so the camera can be replaced from time to time in exactly the same spot), then choose some particular hour of the day, say ten in the morning, and photograph about three feet of the same scene every couple of days when there has been some slight change in the progress of the construction. If your camera is equipped for stop motion it would be preferable to use this method, taking only one frame and at more frequent intervals. A reel of this will show the building rising from the ground to its finished condition in a few minutes and would be a very interesting reel to own. Care must be taken in your judgment of the daily exposure.
At times it is advisable to use an odd camera anale such
