DEFECTIVE
NEGATIVES.
By following
closely
the
foregoing
directions,
the
novice
can
make
seventy-five
pet
cent
.,
or
upwards,
of
good
nega-
tives.
Sometimes,
however,
the
directions
are
not
followed,
and
failures
result.
To
forewarn
the
camerist
is to
forearm
him
and
we
there-
fore
describe
the
common
causes
of
failure.
Under-Exposure.
Caused
by
making
snap
shots
indoors,
or
in
the
shade,
or
when
the
light
is
weak,
late
in
the
day
or
by
closing
the
lens
too soon
on
time
exposures.
Over-Exposure.
Caused
by
too
much
light.
Negative
develops
evenly,
shadows
almost
as
fast
as
hIgh
lights.
No
contrast. and
no
deep
shadows.
Ovtr-Exposure
can
be
overcome
in
the
development,
by
the
addition
of
bromide
of
potassium
to
the
developer.
The
printing
and
developing
outfit ioel
udes
a
package
of
bromide
with
directions
for its use.
The
novice
will
soon
learn to
recognize
over
-exposure, and to
apply
the
remedy.
After
tbe
bromide
has
been
added
to
the
developer,
it
should
not
be
used
for
another
negative
unless
itis
known
to
have
been
over-exposed.
Over-Development.
Caused
by
leaving
the
negatives
too long in
the
developer.
In
this
case
the
negative

very
strong
and

by
transmitted
light
and requires a very
long
time to print.
The
remedy
isobvi
cus.
Under-Development.
Caused
by
removal
from
the
developer
too soon.
An
under

negative
differs from an under-exposed
