About this book
Naturalistic Photography for Students of the Art argues that an unvarying standard negative would be admirable if Nature were unvarying in her moods. The discussion suggests that confusion between the aims of Science and Art accounts for the majority of photographs failing as scientific records or works of art.
The treatment of atmosphere says that its chief effect on colour is to lower brightness, and that a misty day greys all colours. The explanation of illumination says bright objects become more like the brightest in bright light, while dark objects become more like the darkest in feeble light. The discussion of line drawing distinguishes lines from tone and says that lines bound spaces, suggesting a solid figure in a limited way.
