PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
Dr Raymond Kirk presided at the halfyearly exhibition of the Dunedin Photographic Society, at which 102 photographs were judged and criticised by Mr H. G. Woolman, who prefaced his remarks by a short discussion of the arguments for sharp focus and soft focus. At the same time he advised exhibitors to be careful about balance of tone in pictures. Junior members were to be .congratulated on the number of entries in their section, and the work of Mr N. M. Beaumont was particularly promising. In the senior section, the judge said, the quality of the work varied considerably, but one or two outstanding landscapes were entered by Mr R. L. Grant, while the work of' Mr J. G. Johnston gave an example of sharp definition m all planes of the picture.
