LAUNCESTON CAMERA CLUB
The usual monthly meeting of the Launceston Camera Club, took place on Wednesday evening last, at the Albert Hall. The President (Mr. F.C. Birchall) presided. Rev. W. Eddy, of Launceston, was elected a member. This being a “criticism evening”, work done on the field day was submitted, and also some lantern slides. These were examined and criticized by the members present, and also by one of the honorary judges, who was present by invitation. Mr. Haviland showed some excellent lantern slides of sunsets and seascapes, and Messrs. Birchall, Sparrow, and Styant-Browne also exhibited work. Experiments were then made with self-toning paper, also with pyrocatechin developer, one negative being developed and fixed in the same solution. Other developers were tried against it, and the results noted.

LAUNCESTON CAMERA CLUB and MICROSCOPICAL CLUB
At Milton Hall, Launceston, about 150 ladies and gentlemen met at the invitation of the members of the above clubs, who combined forces for the occasion. The hall was prettily decorated, and laid out as a drawing room, while around the room on tables was arranged the recent work of the Launceston Camera Club. Seven or eight high-class microscopes were also shown by their owners, evoking much interest. Mr. E.J. Sadler M.H.A., in the absence of the Mayor, who is away from the city, opened the proceedings in a neat little speech, in which he sketched the progress made by the two clubs in recent years. While the work was inspected a program was gone through, under the able management of Mr. Leslie Morgan. During the evening a number of slides were shown by Mr. J. Sparrow, and described by Mr. Styant-Browne. These comprised views of Sydney Harbour, Sunset Effects, the Second Contingent, Bushman’s Corps, and a set of the Easter Encampment, which evoked loud applause. Some interesting microscopical slides were explained by Mr. H.H. Scott. The clubs are to be congratulated upon the successful evening, everyone returning home, after light refreshments, highly delighted with the entertainment.

LAUNCESTON CAMERA CLUB
The usual monthly meeting of the Launceston Camera Club was held at the Albert Hall on Wednesday evening, last, when, owing to the inclement weather, there was but a moderate attendance. Mr. John Sparrow occupied the chair. Correspondence was read from the South Australian Photographic Society, from the president, and from the Collector of Customs, Hobart, informing the club that, owing to their representations, the duty on colored lantern slides had been remitted. The schedule of the Photographic Society of India was handed round.
Mr. Sparrow gave an interesting “chat on lenses”, and in the course of his remarks gave information how to choose a lens, ex plained the difference between long and short focus lenses, the “f” values in stops, and described rapid rectilinear and lantern lenses, also the most modern classes of lenses, such as concentric, Cooke, Zeiss, and Goerz, showing how more flatness of field and greater covering power was produced. Mr. Styant-Browne showed a “Primus" casket lens, capable of 12 different combinations, covering from quarter plate to 15x12. A vote of thanks to Mr. Sparrow closed the meeting.

CAMERA CLUB
A meeting was held in the parish room of the Church of England last Thursday evening of persons interested in the formation of a camera club in this district. There was a large and representative attendance, and Dr C. F. Hodgkinson was in the chair. On the motion of Mr. J. R. Hart, seconded by Mr. M. Tynan, it was unanimously decided that a club be formed, to be called the Queenstown Camera Club.
ELECTION OF OFFICERS 1901 - 1902 |
PRESIDENT |
Hon. Secretary: Mr. W. Gellie |

It was decided to write to the Launceston Camera Club for a copy of their rules, which will be placed before members at their next meeting. It was also decided to endeavor to obtain the use of the parish room for two afternoons and evenings weekly for the use of members. Other business of a routine nature was transacted and after a hearty vote of thanks had been accorded to the Rev. J. Wellesley Smith for his efforts in the formation of the club, and the chairman for presiding, the meeting adjourned

CHALMERS LITERARY ASSOCIATION
Those who braved the elements last evening were well repaid by a lecture given by Mr. W.E. Masters B.A., LL.B., on Photography. The lecturer treated his subject in a very skillful manner, and proved to the audience that he was a past-master in photography, although an amateur. Mr. Masters, till quite recently, was a member of the Launceston Camera Club, and took a very active part in the work.
In a very bright and interesting way, the speaker gave his hearers an insight into the dry matter of fact details in connection with the art that those unlettered could not fail to grasp which in the past appeared unexplainable. Examples were given of how to prepare for work, how to arrange the camera, and how it was possible to present to the public a faultless picture.
A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the lecturer, who, in reply, briefly thanked all present.

There were eight competitors, and on the whole the slides were a very nice lot, the audience applauding them enthusiastically. Among the other slides shown were a number by members; Commonwealth celebrations, English scenes, and several by Mr. S. Spurling. During the evening a musical program was contributed by Miss Wigmore, Messrs. Leslie Morgan, Ewing, and W. Savage. Mrs. F. Styant-Browne, also gave two recitations with her usual ability, “The Day is Done" and "Cleopatra’s Needle". On the motion of the chairman a vote of thanks was passed to all who had assisted the proceedings. Miss N. Griffiths officiated as accompanist, and Mr. Sparrow manipulated the lantern.

An apology was received from Mr. J.H. Lithgow. The following were elected members; Mr. A.C. Bonner and Mr. H. Unsworth.
Schedules of the exhibition of the South Australian Photographic Society were handed round. For some time the need of a permanent set of rooms for the use of members residing in the city, and also for country members when staying in town, has been much felt, and it was unanimously decided to obtain suitable premises, consisting of a club-room, library, and dark room, with conveniences, for enlarging and reducing. Mr. St. John David gave notice to move at next meeting, “That in view of the increased expense in providing permanent library, club, and dark-rooms, the yearly subscriptions be increased to town members, 15s; country members, 7s. 6d” A number of members present promised donations in furtherance of this object. The negatives exposed on the recent field day were handed round for inspection, and criticized, but owing to the lateness of the hour the practical work in developing was postponed.

LAUNCESTON CAMERA CLUB
Notwithstanding its widespread popularity and its endless usefulness many affect to despise photography, and to refuse to rank it with the arts. They declare it is unreliable for portraits and unsuitable for copying. Where means allow the oil painting or the less expensive miniature is resorted to for portraits, and etching or some other method adopted for the copying of notable oil pictures. But, photography has gained too great a hold upon the democracy to be injured by the criticism of the "artistic" and indeed, it seems to be making strides into the regions of art which cannot be stayed or denied. The photograveur is doing fine service in the way of copying, and artists of renown are not ashamed to sign such proofs of their best work.
The Launceston Camera Club gave an exhibition one night during the week of work lent by the Royal Photographic Society of Great Britain, which showed the perfection to which photography is tending, even in the reproduction of landscape. The phases of sky and storm shown in some of these pictures were remarkable for fidelity to detail. The pictures lent from England are making a tour of the Commonwealth. The Launceston Camera Club which has now had the advantage of the interesting loan for the first time has received the pictures from one body and will now pass them on to another. The collection included specimens of lantern slides, social and sentimental pictures, as well as rural and other views which served to show how the realism of the lantern is being intensified

THE QUEEN OF HOBBIES
This was the title of an interesting lecture delivered in the Patterson-street Methodist School-room on Wednesday night by Mr. H.C. Slocombe, a gentleman from England, at present residing in Melbourne. Well, probably everybody believes that his particular hobby is the sovereign of all hobbies, just as Robert Burns was convinced that the haggis was the "great chieftain of the puddin' race". What do you suppose was the hobby crowned by Mr. Slocombe? Guess! - Photography. And he made out a good case for it too. We all know people who have hobbies, - carpentry, gardening, old stamp collecting, picture postcard gathering, first-night attendance of the theatre, collection of first editions of books, and others less common and more surprising. But it is doubtful that there is a more delightful and universally useful hobby than the camera. Mr. Slocombe's lecture was given under the auspices of the Launceston Camera Club, and he had an appreciative and sympathetic audience. He explained the reason for having a hobby, and said something on the choice of a hobby and then launched out into a panegyric on the Queen of Hobbies, showing the endless fields of pleasure and permanent usefulness opened up to photography by architecture, statuary, travel and nature-studies. Then he showed, on the screen, excellent specimens of photography in pictures of celebrated statues and paintings; views on the route of the mail steamers between Australia and Europe; pictures of a trip up the Nile; noble examples of architecture; some rural scenes in England; and the uses of the "art" in surgery.
Mr. S. Spurling added some slides which had recently been awarded a bronze medal at Sydney.
The awards in the "Grand Yearly Competition" of the Camera Club were then announced. There had been six competitors, and the successful ones were:
| FIRST: Mr. D.M. Annear |
SECOND: Mr. F. Styant-Browne |
THIRD: Mr. R. Lewis Parker |
A very enjoyable item in the evening's program was the recital of Alfred Austin, the Poet Laureate's, poem, "Is life Worth living?" The poem was illustrated by limelight views, and with these beautiful pictures, and Mrs. Styant-Browne's graceful and earnest recital of the poem; a delightful interpretation of the Laureate's lay sermon was given. A gentleman sung "The Yeoman's Wedding", and the Hon. Peter McCrackan, M.L.C., who presided, seemed to enjoy the proceedings as much as an evening in Parliament.

ADVERTISING BY CAMERA
The Launceston Camera Club is taking its part in advertising the State on the mainland and elsewhere. Some time ago a collection of 60 scenic views was forwarded to the Melbourne Camera Club, and these have since been sent to various country clubs in Victoria. Subsequently they will be lent in the same way to camera clubs in New South Wales. The collection of Tasmanian views, which was sent to Great Britain by the Camera Club, in conjunction with the Tourist Association, has been exhibited in no less than 200 centres.

With the view of augmenting the funds of the Trevallyn Cricket Club, an entertainment is to be given in St. Oswald's Hall on Wednesday night next. A feature of the evening's amusement will be a collection of lantern views representing the choicest of Tasmanian scenery, the slides being lent by Messrs. Spurling, Brownrigg, Hill, and the Launceston Camera Club. Mr. Hills will operate the lantern, and, while the pictures are being exhibited on the screen, selections on the new large concert pathephone will be given. Pianoforte solos will be rendered by Mrs. L.E. Morgan, and songs by Miss White (soloist of Patterson-street choir), Messrs. Wilfred Haslam, T. Lowe, and Master Roy Ogilvie. The program has been organized by Mr. Leslie E. Morgan, who has also promised to assist if required.

NORTHERN TASMANIAN CAMERA CLUB
The monthly meeting of the Northern Tasmanian Camera Club was held on Wednesday evening. Mr. C.A. Hart occupied the chair. Arrangements were made to hold a competition for landscape and seascape work, entries to be open to members of the Hobart, Burnie Camera Clubs and Launceston Camera Club. Mr. Muirhead, manager of the Kodak Company at Hobart, has generously offered two trophies of two guineas for the first pictures in each section, and Mr. R.C. Kermode has donated a trophy for the second prize in the landscape section. After the meeting had concluded Mr. H.J. King gave a most interesting lecture on his trip to Mount Pelion. The lecturer showed some very fine slides of the trip, which were much appreciated by the members. They gave a good idea of the beauty and grandeur of that particular country, which so far is very little known.

LAUNCESTON CAMERA CLUB
Mr. F. Styant Browne is the only surviving foundation member of the Launceston Camera Club, and is believed to be in the unique position of being able to claim that he has been a member of one club longer than any other man in Australia. He joined when the club was formed 43 years ago. There was a very large attendance at the club's room at the Stock Exchange on Wednesday night when the president (Mr. J. Russell) presented him with a framed photograph of the members and congratulated him upon his long association with the club. He remarked that Mr. Browne had exhibited photographs in various parts of the world with a good deal of success. Mr. Browne returned thanks. As a further tribute Mr. Browne was elected a life member.

NEED FOR SUPPORT BY CLUB
"If the Launceston Camera Club could stand behind this section it would show a vast improvement", said Mr. H.C. Andrew, of Launceston, after judging the photography classes. MR. ANDREW said he felt the club could help considerably by helping to publicize the show photography section and encouraging its members to enter.
Entries were fewer than last year, but there was some nice work among them, the judge said.
In the important senior landscape the two prize-winning pictures, a river scene and study of an oak, were artistic and well composed.
