Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from Manual of Photography The alchemists, amidst the multiplicity of their processes - in their vain search for the philosopher's stone and the elixir vitae stumbled upon a peculiar combination of silver with chlorine, which they called horn-silver - as, by fusion, the white powder they obtained by precipitation was converted into a horn - like substance. They Observed that this horn-silver was blackened by light, and as they taught that silver only differed from gold in being mercury interpenetrated by the sulphureous principle of the sun's rays, they concluded that this change was the commencement of the process by which their dreams were to be realized. Failing, however, to produce gold from horn-silver, the fact of its blackening was simply recorded, and no further investigations were made into this remarkable phenomenon. Petit, in 1722, noticed that solutions of nitrate Of potash and muriate of ammonia crystallized more readily in the light than they did in darkness.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from A Manual of Photography: Founded on Hardwich's Photographic Chemistry Ir will be necessary to make a few remarks by way of Preface to this edition of Mr. Hardwich's treatise on Photography. The short compendium of general Chemistry has been omitted, because this Science can be better studied from the more comprehensive works on that subject which now abound. Indeed, a know ledge of Chemistry is not essential to the practical Photographer, for it is only on very exceptional occasions that he will be called on to prepare any of his own Chemicals. At the same time it is deemed desirable to give a Vocabulary, mentioning the nature and properties of the various substances used in Photo graphy, except when these are described in the body of the work.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Science and Practice of Photography: An Elementary Textbook on the Scientific Theory and a Laboratory Manual While the primary purpose of the book is a class-room text, the author has aimed to make it useful to many earnest amateurs by collecting and systematizing for them material now widely scattered through the literature of photography. For the aid of such workers and for the instructor many references are given to the literature which will draw atten tion to and aid in the study of the original work. In the British Journal Almanac for 1916 (at page 503) will be found a list of the journals of the world which print photographic information. For an English-speaking worker the most generally useful are: the British Journal of Photography (u. 5. Agent, George Murphy, 59 E. 9th Street, New York), the Journal of the Royal Photographic Society (harrison and Sons, 45 Pall Mall, London, S.

Download or read book The Amateur Photographer s Hand Book written by Arthur Hope and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Amateur Photographer's Hand Book: A Manual of Instruction for the Amateur Although this book cannot be called an invention, yet necessity is its mother; it is needed by beginners, by amateurs and by many who make the art a business. And this, after all, may be only another way of alluding to "a long felt want." It is only a little book, yet it embodies the result of a "powerful amount" of work and experiment. When the author was beguiled into buying a camera many years ago, he could find nothing in print which explained clearly the various operations. There were numerous instruction books, but they omitted the explanations which were of vital importance to the beginner. Therefore he was compelled to grope in the dark, experimenting continually, and often uselessly, wasting precious time - not to mention dollars - which he could ill afford to lose. The instruction books misled him, as they do to-day, and chemicals were wasted because the formulas were wrongly given. "Dissolve one ounce of pyro in sixteen ounces water." He did so, and after four-fifths of the solution had grown black and valueless, he learned that it was not wise to dissolve more pyro than was to be used immediately.

Download or read book The Principles and Practice of Photography Familiarly Explained written by Jabez Hughes and published by Forgotten Books. This book was released on 2018-03-17 with total page 172 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Principles and Practice of Photography Familiarly Explained: Being a Manual for Beginners, and Reference Book for Expert Photographers; Comprising the Collodion Process The word photography means drawing, engraving, or writing by Light. You are doubtless aware that white light - light from the sun, for instance - is composed of three different colours Yellow, Red, and Blue it also possesses three distinct properties - Illuminating, Heating, and Chemical powers. These three powers are singularly connected with the three colours.' The Illuminating property exists mainly in the Yellow Rays - the Heating property in the Red - and the Chemical in the Blue or Violet rays. With the Illuminating power you are daily familiar the July sun gives certain proof of its Heating power 5 and it is your present purpose to learn that all Photography is based on its Chemical power. For the full explanation of these facts I must refer you to Hunt's Researches on Light 3 in that excellent work is detailed in a most satisfactory manner the threefold function of a sunbeam - to illuminate, to heat, and to produce chemical change. That these three properties are distinct from each other is proved by their being separable from each other. Thus, black glass stops the illuminating and the chemical rays, but allows the heating rays to pass through 3 dark blue glass arrests the heating and illuminating rays, but allows the chemical ones to get through; while yellow or orange glass admits light and heat, but denies passage to the chemical rays.

Download or read book The Photographic Primer written by J. C. Worthington and published by . This book was released on 2015-08-05 with total page 184 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Excerpt from The Photographic Primer: A Manual of Practice This little manual, which now seeks audience, is not the mouthpiece of a manufacturer, neither have the authors a private axe to grind. It is written to give a clear, simple definition of photographic practice in its primary form, as the uninitiated must approach it. The Primer can lay no claim on the professional operator, and goes no further in the path of photographic work than the production of a perfect picture by the simplest processes. For those who wish to experiment with the endless procession of new plates, new papers, and new methods, there is abundant help ready to hand in the photographic literature of the past ten years; but to one who knows nothing of the art, who has never looked into the mysterious simplicity of a camera box, and to whom a lens is but a bit of glass, the Primer may appeal with confidence. The authors have sought to give the cardinal points in photographic work in epitomic form, and in this respect the manual may be found not only a guide to the beginner, but a reference book of constant use to the more advanced student.
