Overview

Short, practical lessons from an older age of photography: how to place a foreground, how to work indoors and out of doors, how to trim a finished print, and how to mix your own solutions.

The hints gathered in A Helpful Book of Hints and Tips on Photography come from a time when the person behind the camera was expected to understand the chemistry as well as the picture. They deal with foregrounds and backgrounds, with the differences between working inside and in the open air, with trimming a print once it is made, and with mixing solutions at home - the small pieces of craft that older manuals assumed everybody already knew.

Drawn from several hands and short enough to read at a sitting, it will suit anyone with a fondness for analogue methods, or simply a curiosity about how pictures were made before the process began to look after itself.

This edition features:

  • Advice on arranging foregrounds and backgrounds, whether working inside or in the open air
  • Notes on trimming a finished print and getting it ready for mounting, framing or display
  • Instructions for mixing your own solutions at home rather than buying them ready made
  • A brief anthology, drawn from several early writers on the craft and reproduced in full
