TIME EXPOSURES IN THE OPEN AIR.
When the stop No . 128 is in the lens the light admitted is
so
much reduced that time exposure s out of doors may be
mittie the same as inter iors but the exposure must be much
shatter.
WITH SUNSHINE-The shu tt er can hardly be opened and
dosed quickly en ough to avoid over-exposure.
WITH LIGHT CLOUDs-F r om Yz to 1 second will be suf-
ficient.
WITH H EAVY CLOUDs - F rom 2 to 5 seconds will be
tequ.ired.
T he above is calcu l ated for the same hours as mentioned
above and for objects in the open air. For other hours or for
objects in th e shadow, under porches or under trees, no accu-
rate direct i ons can be given; experience only can teach the
proper exposure to give.
T i me expos u res cannot be m ade while the Kodak is held
in the hand . Alw ays place it upon some firm su pport, such as
a
tripod, ch air or table.
