FINAL SELECTION

CAMERA CLUB PRINTS DOMINION COMPETITION The final selection of entries for the 1939 inter-club competition was made at the meeting of the Gisborne Camera Club on Tuesday evening. The president, Mr. ft. R. Baldrey, was in the chair, and there was a fair attendance. - The selection committee had a much finer range of prints to choose from than at the previous meeting, the members having profited by their inspection of last year’s entries. The required number of prints was obtained with ease. A commendable effort by Mr. E. G. Glanville, originally' intended for the dlub’s forthcoming “wind” competition was included in the selection.

The secretary, Mr. N. Dallas, reported that the exhibition of prints sent to the club recently had been on show at Le Grand Cafe and had been re-packed that evening for return to Auckland. It was reported also that two members,. Messrs. Hill and Glanville, had attended the last meeting of the junior members to give a demonstration of enlarging. Mr. Hill offered the use of his premises for future meetings and demonstrations for the juniors, the offer being accepted with thanks. The subject for the evening was a demonstration of making lantern slides, this being left in the capable hands of Mr. K. Wade. Mr. Wade made several slides during the evening, and proved to members that it was not necessary to have a darkroom for slide-making, all the operations being carried out in the normal room lighting. Mr. Wade also showed several examples of different methods of toning with direct developer and passed around several sets of slides in the different stages of the process. Mr. Wade was accorded a hearty vote of thanks.
