WELLINGTON CAMERA CLUB
Two demonstrations were given at the Camera Club's fortnightly meeting held recently. The first, "Gaslight Printing," shown by Mr.H. A. McDonald, was intended for beginners in photography, of' whom there are a large number among the new members.
The second demonstration, by Mr. JJ W. Johnson, on the oil and bromoil processes, was watched with great in-, terest. There is a decided knack in using the brushes and in stopping each step of the process just-at the right stage. There is also a ' good deal of work involved, but this is compensated for by the amount t>f control possible and the pleasing results obtainable. With either process, a photographer can impress his own individuality upon his pictures as surely as can an artist. Unlike ordinary bromide enlargements, which can be turned out with machinelike regularity, no two oils or bromoils can be made exactly the same. Mr. Johnson displayed a number of most attractive studies, including a portrait in colours, which' was a .wonderful example of the control and realism possible by this method. He also exhibited several bromoil tranters.
