COLOUR PHOTOGRAPHY.
To photograph in colour is quite possible, said Mr. H. C. Peart, in a lecture at the Wellington Camera Club last evening. The process, however, is complex, and rather expensive for the average person, and for these reasons it had not displaced one-tone photography. It is possible, he said, to modify single-tone rendering by choice of a colour suited to method or subject, and while much has been said against brown seascapes and blue river scenes, in that they are unreal, yet realism is not necessarily art, and if the pictorialist finds that the use of these toning methods gives him a greater facility of expression, then he is justified in their adoption. Mr. Peart, who was accorded a hearty vote of thanks by members, illustrated his lecture by demonstrating one of the various toning methods.
H. C. Peart, of 213, Tinakori road, was riding his bicycle along Lambton quay at 1.30 o'clock this afternoon, when the machine collapsed and Peart was thrown on the ground, suffering injuries to his head. He was taken to the Wellington Hospital.
The lecturer advised those interested in photography to cut out from magazines portions of interest and reproductions, of good pictures, and paste them in a book for future reference; to study-good pictures; to visit the Public Library for art information; to graphy afterwards; to keep a look-out read books on art first and photography afterwards; to keep an eye out hand bookshops. He advised people to purchase the best camera they could afford, and to experiment with films (preferably) with varied exposures. He drew attention to various faults and their correction, such as the dampness that comes over the lens of a camera carried in a rucksack, etc. The difference between a technical photographer and a pictorial photographer was also stressed. While the former wanted everything sharp, the pictorialist aimed at getting feeling into pictures, though, of course, it was necessary to study the laws of composition before going out to photograph. It was desirable to photograph what one liked, and to be in the mood for it. One should bear in mind that the eye, in looking at a scene, perceived only the main object sharply the rest receded into the distance. Mr Peart displayed a large number of pictures to members, pointing out the reason for their being taken from the particular viewpoint, etc., and illustrating three essentials in landscape, foreground, middle distance, and far distance. At the conclusion the lecturer was accorded a hearty vote of thanks...
CAMERA CLUB
In the absence of the expected lecturer for the evening, at the last meeting of the Wellington Camera Club. Mr. P N Denton kindly delivered at short notice a lecture on Ceylon. Some very interesting lantern slides of Colombo and Kandy were shown, and many studies of native life the tea planting industry, etc. Mr H. C. Peart operated the lantern, and at the conclusion both were awarded hearty votes of thanks.
It was announced that the silver cup which his Excellency the Governor-General, Lord Bledisloe, had kindly presented for annual competition amongst the amateur photographic clubs of New; Zealand; was on view in Mr. Denton's shop window.
A Section: Mr. H. C. Peart, 1; Mr. J. W. Chapman-Taylor, 2 and 3.
B Section; Mr. L. Poweil; Mr. J. T. Salmon, 2 and 3.
C Section- Mr. C. G. Smith, 1 and 2.
The entries were constructively criticised by Mr. C. P. S. Boyer, and he also gave a short talk on securing, developing, and presenting seascape and marine pictures. His remarks were illustrated by a selection o£ his own negatives and some pictures which he had brought down for the purposed and many valuable hints were given for amateur photographers. Announcement was made of the annual club outing to be held at Moonshine in March, a competition following in April for the best pictures taken on that occasion.
A section, Mr. J. W. Chapman-Taylor;
B section, Mr. J. W. Stubbs;
C section, Mr. J. E. Tunnington.
Three paintings by Mrs. Chapman-Taylor were also admired. Mr. H. C. Peart constructively criticised the entries, and also delivered a short lecture entitled "Art and the Camera," illustrating his remarks by pictures he had brought down for the purpose. While it was necessary to have a camera with a good lens and to understand it, also a knowledge of correct exposure and development, a study of perspective and composition was also required. It was necessary to cultivate the imagination and not to overcrowd pictures, and Mr. Peart pointed out that it was necessary to see pictures oneself, before portraying them. Many valuable pictorial hints were given, and at the conclusion he was awarded a hearty vote of thanks.

WELLINGTON CAMERA CLUB.
At the last meeting of the Wellington Camera Club members and their friends were entertained and much interested by a lantern lecture given by Mr. H. C. Peart. Mr. Peart has travelled over nearly all the scenic routes of New Zealand, usually on foot or bicycle, with his camera for companion, and one result has been the collection of a comprehensive and artistic series of pictures.

He was heartily thanked for his most interesting and instructive entertainment.Evening Post, Volume CXIII, Issue 106, 7 May 1927, Page 11

"Dear Everyone, I will tell you where I have been to the last few days. Wednesday morning was fine and we walked through the town, along the Wharf and out to the end of the river by the sea where the boats come in. There were 6 boats in. Then we went [to] Blaketown & did not think much of it. It is a very poor suburb. We saw the Hospital and returned home a different way. A pretty park on the way. Started to rain hard & we went to "One Night of Love" at night. This morning rained but we walked again & over the River to Cobden and took the bus back, costing 4d. Then took a bus to Blaketown."
