SCENIC PHOTOGRAPHY
HINTS BY AN EXPERT
A highly entertaining and instructive talk on "Hints on Outdoor Scenic Photography" was delivered by Mr. H. C. Peart, the well-known landscape photographer, at the fortnightly meeting of the Wellington Camera Club.HINTS BY AN EXPERT
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...

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.

WELLINGTON CAMERA CLUB
Mr. P. N. Denton presided over the meeting of the Wellington Camera Club last week, when Mr. Nelson Isaac lectured to members on "Composition and Design in Photography." Mr. Isaac stressed the essentials for pictorial success, from pattern and balance, and he gave point to his remarks by the exhibition of a number of lantern slides of the world's masterpieces of pictorial art. Mr. H. C. Peart operated the lantern, and an interesting and instructive evening was spent by those present.

CAMERA CLUB
There was a good attendance at the last meeting of the Wellington Camera Club, when a competition was held for the best picture taken on annual outing to Moonshine on March 5. A small trophy in each section had been offered by a local firm, and the following were declared the winners:—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.

BEAUTIES OF SOUTH ISLAND
The story of a tour of the South Island, during which he travelled 1000 miles, was told by Mr. H. C. Peart in Nimmo's Hall last night. Mr. Peart showed coloured lantern slides of the places he visited. Starting from Christchurch he travelled to Arthur's Pass and down the West Coast to Lake Wakatipu and Lake Manapouri. Too few New Zealanders, Mr. Peart said, knew the beauties of their country, and too many thought that the North Island was the only place with scenic attractions. A visit to any of the places of which he had shown slides should convince anyone that such was not the case. During the evening Miss J. R. Jones sang two solos.

The concluding item was a lantern tour round Westland, presented by Mr. Bertram Potts ("La Panorama Gloro de Westland"), the slides being courteously loaned by Mr. H. Peart. It was announced that a supper and dance would take place after the tuition hour next week.

"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."
