between f.11 and f.16 and use speed 25, then the
lenses furnished in the Stereo Kodak wi ll cover sharp
any subject as close as twelve feet up to any dis-
tance. It is necessary, however, that the subject be

bri ll iant sunlight, in order to obtain a fully timed
exposure. Generally speak ing, this rule is the best
one to fo ll ow when making stereoscopic views unless
you particu l arly wish some one sub j ect close in the
foreground to come out strong and have the rest
fade away.

When making instantaneous exposures, better
known as "snapshots" the camera is usually held in

sunrise to three hours before sunset. Earlier or l ater
than these hours time exposures should be made.
