WELLINGTON CAMERA CLUB

1 The May competition, for hand-colour-ed photographs, attracted a large entry at the Wellington Camera Clubs recent meeting. Voting, which was difficult, as there were so many favourites, resulted as follows:— m . Champion (equal) : E. T. Robson, C. Jackson and J. M. Kershaw. A grade: Mr. Robson, 1; Mr. Kershaw. 2; Mr. K. G. Killoh, 3. B grade: Mr Jackson. 1; Mr. R. E. Trctbeway, 2; Messrs. A. J. Wales and R. A. Krebs, equal 3. It pointed out that two distinct types of could be submitted under the conditions—the tinted, in which the photographic base showed through, and the painted, in which the image was covered up hv colour. In the opinion of Mr. J. W. Johnson, who was in charge of the evening, entries for the purpose of this competition should be of the first type. After commenting helpfully on the exhibits, Mr. Johnson passed on several hints on colouring generally and also gave a quick demonstration. He advised using oils, which were permanent, and easier to apply and remove, and suggested that unless cold tones were desired, as in night or snow scenes, the enlargement should first be toned sepia.
