As a reader of The A.P.-R. for a long time I was very interested in the extracts from early issues of the Review published recently. They were very interesting and gave an excellent impression of the contrast between the photography of those days and now. The splendid technique and artistic appreciation of some of the early pictorialists are an inspiration when one considers the small amount of control possible in early processes as compared with present-day films and papers.

REPORT OF FIRST HALF-YEAR
The first half of this year marked an active period in the Society’s history. A number of new members was enrolled and a beginners class was instituted with very promising students. The curriculum is a comprehensive one, taking the tyro to finished contact prints; an introduction to enlarging and more advanced working is to be given during the later months of the year.
The regular activities of the Society included a number of lectures given by members and guest speakers. Among these was one on “Color Photography” by Mr. S.B. Gamble, of Sydney. Mr. Gamble was introduced by the manager of Kodak Ltd., Hobart and his lecture covered photography in New Zealand, South Africa and the United States. An evening was given to the exhibition of gadgets, over forty being on display. These ranged from a workable miniature enlarger four inches high to excellently designed and executed precision equipment.
REPORT FOR JULY
The beginners class is producing excellent results and should serve to introduce several keen members to the Society. Many thanks are due to Hobart Branch of Kodak Ltd. for the friendly help and advice so readily given.
Club members had a confession night, at which members discussed the various mistakes made by them during their photographic careers.
The monthly competition was “Still Life”.
Mr. Rumsey, of New Zealand, an honorary member of the Club during his stay in Tasmania, gave a very comprehensive lecture on “Photographic Objectives”. This gave members much food for thought and a greater appreciation of the meticulous workmanship in the design and manufacture of the camera lens.
REPORT FOR AUGUST
On 10th August, Mr. A.J. Low, an American now in Tasmania, gave a lecture entitled “Color with the Mini-Cam”, to a very interested audience. He commented on principles, selection of subject, exposure for color, color proportions, presentation of the finished slides (both through a projector and an optical viewer) and concluded by exhibiting a set of excellent examples. These depicted his native land in many of her most attractive moods. A number of slides of Tasmanian beauty spots was also shown.
At the meeting on 31st August, Mr. R. Barnes lectured on “Trick Photography for Fun”. Describing a number of the better-known tricks as an introduction, he went on to present many which he originated. His several wood-shaving photograms produced many a laugh. By placing plane-shavings on the bromide paper and exposing through the enlarger, he contrived to show a boy and a girl making a “date”. Also his portrait of the Club President (Mr. M.W. Murray) in the throes of a violent headache, complete with facial distortion and swollen pate, brought the house down.
The monthly competition was “Winter”. Following the poor entries received for the “Still Life” portfolio last month, the prints exhibited at this meeting were delightfully refreshing. Several prints of salon standard were made and generally the work of members, particularly that of the Class “B” members, has improved greatly.
September competition is a multiple one: “Bas Relief”, “Photograms”, “Composite Pictures”.

STEREOSCOPES MAY MAKE COMEBACK
The possibility of a modern version of the stereoscopic pictures which children used to admire in Victorian era drawing rooms has been discussed in Hobart during the past few days.
A CORRESPONDENT to "The Mercury" described stereoscopic photography, which makes the subject stand out in bold relief, as the most realistic form of the art and suggested that the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society make an effort to revive it.
Yesterday Mr. M.W. Murray and Mr. P.C. Tapping, President and Vice-President of the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society, said that if amateur photographers were interested, something perhaps could be done.
Mr. Tapping said the Committee was quite prepared to discuss the matter.
A number of older members of the society were keenly interested in stereoscopic photography.
The late Mr. N. Oldham had left a very fine collection which was now in the possession of Mr. Charles Oldham. Others who had good collections included Mr. W. Masters, of Bellerive and Mr. H.C. Tapping.
If the society had not been in recess a revival of the art would have been discussed with a Mainland enthusiast when he visited Tasmania last Christmas.
Mr. M.W. Murray said a whole range of special equipment was used in making stereoscopic photographs. Some of this had fallen into disuse because of the present popularity of color work.
In England, however, new equipment was being made and when stereoscopic color transparencies became general there would be a real 20th century version of the old favorites.

CAMERA FANS UNITE
A Tasmanian Photographic Association was formed last night at a combined meeting of members of the Launceston Cine Society, the Northern Tasmanian Camera Club and the Devonport Camera Club.
Support for the proposal was voiced on behalf of the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society. About 80 people attended the meeting.
The President of the Launceston Cine Society (Mr. W. Gellie) envisaged an annual combined meeting, display of pictures and films, to be followed by a combined field day.
Mr. Max Goodrick, Launceston, who was elected Hon.Secretary pro-tem, said the new organization would organize the circulation of portfolios of pictures and films among the clubs.
The meeting was followed by a display of films and color slides by members of the Devonport Camera Club. Among these was the first take of a comedy called "The Magician" being produced by this club on 9.5 mm. sub-standard film.

CAMERA DELIVERS FINISHED PHOTO IN 55s. AFTER EXPOSURE
A camera which delivers a finished photograph 55 seconds after exposure was demonstrated to members of the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society on Tuesday night.
Mr. A.G. Field, director of Polarisers International Ltd., gave the demonstration, which was accompanied by a colored film showing the ability of polarized light to reduce accidents caused by headlight dazzle.
Mr. Field, who is from Johannesburg, is touring Australia with a view to establishing a factory to produce the camera and develop polarized lights for motor cars. He has not yet chosen a site.
The camera was produced in America by scientist Edwin Land after years of research. Externally, it has little to distinguish it from other folding type cameras now in use. Its secret lies in the film used. This is of paper and the chemicals used for processing are sealed in minute pods in the film emulsion. After a picture has been taken, the film passes between two steel rollers. These crush the pods and the chemicals released develop, fix and dry the print.
Results of the society's competition, judged by Messrs. D. Overell and H. Buckie: Set subject Autumn.

PHOTO EXHIBITS AT SHOW
There will be a photographic exhibition at the Royal Hobart Show next month.
At a meeting of the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society, the chairman (Mr. M.W. Murray) said the society had accepted an invitation by the Royal Agricultural Society to exhibit at the show.
A Committee had been appointed to attend to the organization and it was expected the exhibit would take the form of a display of historical and modern apparatus, selected examples of members work and if possible working demonstrations of photographic processes of interest to amateurs, he said.
The selection and presentation of the prints was under the direction of Mr. A.B. Maddocks, an exhibitor well known at salons abroad as well as in Australian circles.
It was hoped that as a result of the exhibition a greater number of Hobart people will take an interest in the more serious side of amateur photography.

The maiden and open sheep dog trials of the Royal Hobart Show will be held next Tuesday instead of Monday, as previously arranged. This has been decided because of the small number of entries.
An interesting feature to be staged at the show will be the handcrafts section display to be opened by Lady Binney, the wife of the Governor (Sir Hugh Binney), on the Wednesday.
The display, instead of being a competition as usual, will be an exhibition staged by the Country Women's Association, the Amateur Horticultural Society, the Australian Red Cross Society, the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society, the Girl Guides and the Good Neighbor Council.
All the organizations will combine in staging attractive working exhibits, which will include weaving, leather, work, basketry, Glove making, string work, tapestry and demonstrations with photographic equipment.
Members of the Horticultural Society, in conjunction with the Living Soil Association, will exhibit an attractive display of flowers and the working exhibit will consist of a demonstration of compost preparations.

HOBART SHOW
Visitors from all over Tasmania are in town for Hobart's annual Show.
One of the highlights for women is the handcrafts display in which all exhibits this year are non-competitive. They have been arranged by the CWA, Red Cross, Good Neighbor Council, Hobart Horticultural Society, Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society and the Girl Guides. Among working exhibits are demonstrations of leather and basket work, glove-making, string work and photography.
The Horticultural Society and the Living Soil Association display of flowers adds color to the show and provides one of the most spectacular features.
A large doll's house displayed by the Blind and Deaf Institute is a popular feature with youngsters. It was made especially for blind children by R.F. Tunley, who does all kinds of modeling and makes his dolls' houses little homes that are works of art complete in every detail.
By sense of touch alone the blind children who play with the house learn all about furnishings, window, door and roof design and other features of a modern home. Little metal plaques fastened on the house carry braille descriptions of architecture and fittings.

NEW AUSTRALIANS ART AMONG HANDICRAFTS
Beautiful work by New Australians is included in the handcraft exhibition at the Royal Hobart Show. The exhibition is non-competitive. The show Hon.Secretary (Mr. W.T. Loney) said it would have lost some of its attraction if it had been competitive. Many of the exhibits at the Autumn show would have been duplicated.
The section of work by New Australians was arranged by the Good Neighbor Council.
Fourteen wood etchings of the Stations of the Cross and of a mother and child and a plasticine model are particularly interesting.
There are some fine oil paintings and crayon portraits and a hand woven bed cover made of wood fiber. Intricate drawn thread work and embroidery and fine handmade lace will attract a lot of attention.
Outstanding exhibition in the display by the Country Women's Association is a colored wool hook rug made from unloomed fleece. Fine needlework is exhibited in a pastel colored patchwork table runner. Other C.W.A. exhibits include a christening robe and an 80-year-old frock for a child.
Wool rugs and leather and basket work from patients at Lachlan Park, Millbrook Rise, the Repatriation Hospital and the Sanatorium are features of the Red Cross exhibit.
Interesting displays of photographs and flowers were arranged by the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society and the Amateur Horticultural Society. Brownies and Girl Guides have contributed to the exhibition.

SPLENDID DISPLAY OF PHOTOGRAPHY
The Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society had a splendid display at the Hobart Royal Show which was inspected by thousands of show patrons.
One popular item was an ingenious device which permitted the public to view the display of color transparencies on a ground glass screen.
Also on view was a collection of historical and modern photographic apparatus, ranging from an old lens used for taking life-size pictures to a fluorescent screen for viewing X-ray negatives.
Included in the apparatus section was a modern lens, a prototype of one which, it is hoped, will be mass produced in Hobart shortly. It is claimed that this lens is com- parable to some of the finest lens being produced by German optical firms.
A highlight of the display was a panel of selected photographs, the work of society members. These were of outstanding merit and included pictures of international standard.
The work showed artistic scope and ability and provided a splendid example of what can be done with the camera in competent hands. Members hope that the exhibition will stimulate the interest of amateur photographers.

PHOTOGRAPH COMPETITION
The Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society "Print of the Year" competition was won by Mr. Gordon Chatterton. It was a print of a night scene taken from the Hobart waterfront.
Other prints favorably considered by the judges were those submitted by Mr. A.B. Maddocks and Mr. A. Roberts. The competition was well supported and the quality of the prints was very high. Judges were Dr. J.H.B. Walsh and Mr. R. Cos.
The chairman (Mr. M.W. Murray) reported at a meeting of the society that efforts to find more suitable accommodation for the society had been unsuccessful so far. He appealed to members and the general public for assistance.

PHOTOGRAPHIC ACTIVITIES "HAMPERED"
The President of the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society (Mr. M.W. Murray) said in Hobart last night that the serious amateur photographer was hampered in this city. He spoke at the annual dinner of the society. He said any advance made by members had to come from individual effort, because very little encouragement was given by local authorities. "The federal Government, by increasing the sales tax to 33 1/3 percent, an increase of 25 percent on photographic materials, has no doubt helped place a severe restriction on development of photography", he said.

SOUTHERN TASMANIAN PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY
PROPOSES AN “AUSTRALIAN FEDERATION OF PHOTOGRAPHERS”
At a recent meeting of members of the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society, held in Hobart, it was unanimously agreed to seek a federation of all Photographic Societies, Camera Clubs, Cine Societies, with a suggested title of the “Australian Federation of Photographers”.
It is a considered view of members that such a federation is long overdue and this society now seeks to give the necessary lead which will unite all clubs and societies into one strong organization.
A representative body, as now suggested, could do much to aid all Australian photographers and among the advantages which spring readily to the mind are the interchange of portfolios, lectures and ideas, organization of inter-club competitions, arrangement of salons and exhibitions, representation at trade conferences with recommendations to the trade on supplies of material and equipment. There is also the possibility that the organization would be in a position to make suitable representations to the Government as and when necessary and an annual conference held probably in each State in turn.
To gain the fullest benefit from the proposed federation it would appear that no time is to be lost and the Hon.Secretaries of all societies and individual photographers interested in the scheme are asked to contact the Hon.Secretary of the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society: A.E. Roberts, “Floave”, Risdon Road, Lindisfarne, Tasmania.

CAMERA ART AT DEVONPORT
Organized by the Jubilee Arts Committee and the Devonport Camera Club, the photographic display which opened in the Town Hall yesterday attracted many admirers. The exhibition is the first in the town by Tasmanian exhibitors and is believed to be the first of its kind in the State.
Several of the pictures on display have previously been accepted for exhibition in Portugal, America, Czechoslovakia, England, India, Canada, Argentina and Austria.
The exhibition was opened last evening by the Warden (Cr. M.F. Holman), who congratulated the Arts Committee and Camera Club on organizing and preparing the display. It will remain open to-day and to-morrow from 2pm till 5pm and 7pm to 10pm. Each night color slides and films will be shown.
The winning print was Olegas Trochuna's "Condemned", the exhibitor being a member of the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society. The best color slide was that entered by T.A. Beswick (Sheffield) "Storm Ending". The film section was won by J.H. Taylor of Kingston, with a film called "Victorian Vacation".
The exhibition was open to all photographers throughout the State and special Jubilee trophies were awarded to the winners in the three sections. The display included 138 prints, 36 color slides and nine films and covered portraiture, character study, landscape, still life and nature.

QUALITY SHOWN IN PHOTOGRAPHIC ART
AN exceptionally good standard of photographic art, accentuated by quality tone in printing, is apparent in an exhibition of pictures by the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society at the Royal Hobart Show.
The exhibition is next to "The Mercury" display in the Handcrafts Hall and will be continued today and tomorrow.
Of outstanding appeal are a group of landscapes by Mr. A.B. Maddock, some of which have had many international acceptances, a section of portraits and seascapes by Mr. A.E. Roberts, character studies by Mr. Olegas Truchanas, child studies by Mr. I. Gakovenko and an architectural series by Mr. C.S. Flaws.
Messrs. A. Hewer and Clifton-Davies have displayed appealing exhibits and many other members of the society have notable examples of good atmospheric art.
More than half the exhibits have been shown overseas and the society intends to establish an international salon during the Sesqui-Centenary celebrations.

PROFITS FROM REGATTA FOR FORESHORE IMPROVEMENTS
The Bellerive Regatta Association will donate profits of its regatta on Saturday to improvements to Victoria Esplanade, Bellerive.
With the help of the Public Works Department and the Clarence Council, the association already has built a swimming jetty, a starting box for yacht races and seating accommodation for the public on the esplanade.
Bathing accommodation for men and women is badly needed on the esplanade and the association hopes to be in a position soon to provide these facilities.
Although yachting entries for the regatta are down slightly on previous years, almost 200 yachts of all sizes should provide an attractive spectacle and good racing.
The Royal Lifesaving Society will provide a display of lifesaving, methods and a water ballet off the foreshore in the afternoon. In the morning there will be a comprehensive program of swimming and diving events, for younger members of the Clarence municipality. Post entries will be accepted and the first event will start at 10am.
In conjunction with the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society, the association is conducting a competition for the best regatta photograph. The competition is open to all sections of the community and competitors should leave their entries with any photographic dealer on or before March 25, for judging.
Should inclement weather prevail on Saturday a weather Committee will meet at 8am and again at 11am if necessary, to decide if the regatta will proceed. Its decision will be notified over the air and at the various yacht clubs.

PRINT OF THE YEAR
A portrait by Ivan Yakovenko, from Hobart, was chosen yesterday by a panel of three judges as the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society print of the year.
The judges (above left to right), Mr. R. Cox, Dr. J.H.B. Walch and Mr. M.W. Murray, agreed that Ivan Yakovenko's print, called "Senor Cappello" (shown in the bottom right hand corner of the picture), was outstanding because of its attention to detail, boldness and striking appearance.
Ivan Yakovenko has been in Australia about two years, but already is one of the leading exhibitors in international salons in Australia. He is an associate of the Photographic Society of America.
The judges commended the work of Alan Walters, Alan B. Maddock and A.E. Roberts. The President (Mr. Max Murray) said 30 entries had been received and the standard was higher than in previous years.

The Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society, President, Mr. P.C. Tapping, showed a collection of moving pictures comprising scenic and topical subjects on July 16. Another lecture during the month was given on July 30, by Mr. N.G. Hutton who screened a collection of scenes in Kodachrome describing a walking tour he had made to the south western part of Tasmania as far as Port Davey. These interesting pictures gave an idea how Mr. Hutton and his party crossed some of the rivers.

PHOTOGRAPHY TO BE DISPLAY SUBJECT
AS part of the Sesqui-Centenary celebrations and in an endeavor to increase public interest in pictorial photography, a special exhibition will be staged by the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society in the Tasmanian Museum and Art Gallery from November 13 to November 29.
Entry forms have been sent to every photographic society in Australia and to 300 individual exhibitors in Australia and New Zealand.
Although present indications are that the number of entries will be very high, a minimum of 120 and a maximum of 220 prints to be shown will ensure a high standard.
Three Sesqui-Centenary medallions and six certificates of merit in the form of special books on Tasmania, being published by the Sesqui-Centenary Committee, will be awarded to winning entries. Every print accepted for exhibition will receive a special sticker.
An historical section of the exhibition will feature photographs of early Tasmania and Hobart.
This will be the first time an all Australian exhibition of photography has been shown in Hobart.
Judges will be Mr. A.B. Maddock, Mr. John W. Ikin and Mr. R.O. Cox.
Mr. Maddock and Mr. John W. Ikin are both international exhibitors and winners of the "Australasian Photo Review" medal for pictorial photography. Mr. Cox is noted for his etchings of the Tasmanian scene.
The Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society was originally formed in 1887 as the Tasmanian Photographic, Science and Art Association. Four members of the association well-known in connection with early photography in Tasmania were Messrs. E.R. Ash. J.W. Beattie and R. McGuffie (Committeemen) and N. Oldham (Secretary).

PICTORIAL DISPLAY OFFICIALLY OPENED
The first Australian exhibition of "pictorial photography" to be held in Tasmania was officially opened at the Tasmanian Art Gallery, Hobart, yesterday afternoon by the Governor (Sir Ronald Cross).
The exhibition, which was organized by the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society as part of the State's Sesqui-Centenary celebrations, attracted entries from all States of Australia and from New Zealand.
It is a forerunner to an international salon of photography to be held in Tasmania in 1954-55.
His Excellency said good public support for the exhibition would be a worthy tribute to the initiative and enterprise of the organizers.
He said the prints indicated the artistic heights to which a photography enthusiast could rise.
Irrespective of the efficiency of the mechanical appliances, it was the artistry of the individual who "snapped the shutter" that made a good picture.
The Governor was introduced to the audience by the President of the society (Mr. P.C. Tapping).
In all there are 132 prints from 60 photographers. A total of 345 prints were submitted by 97 competitors. The selection for exhibition was made by Messrs. A.B. Maddock, J.W. Ikin and R.O. Cox.
Included in the exhibition are 42 prints from 17 Tasmanian photographers, 37 prints from 17 Victorians, 30 prints from 15 New South Welshmen, 13 prints from five South Australians, five prints from three Canberra photographers, four prints from two New Zealanders and one print from Queensland.
Examples of work of sesquicentennial medallion winners A.R. Walters (Tasmania), N. Ozolins (New South Wales) and C.R. Hartmann (Victoria) and certificates of merit winners Olegas Truchanas and Ivan Yakovenko (Tasmania). H. Keil and E. Robertson (South Australia), R. Warlow (New South Wales) and C.L. Leslie (Canberra) are included in the exhibition.

STOLEN PORTRAIT FOUND DAMAGED
Portrait photograph, on loan from America and recently exhibited in Hobart, was stolen from the exhibition at the Museum and later found maliciously damaged in a public convenience.
The theft of and damage to the portrait has incensed members of the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society, at whose recent exhibition the photograph was displayed.
The society's Hon.Secretary (Mr. M.W. Murray) said the portrait was one of four by a well known American studio photographer. Theodore L. Bronson, of New York, which were on loan to the society for the exhibition.
Mr. Murray said that the portrait was stolen from the Museum on the afternoon of 22nd November and that inquiries by the police and club members had failed to locate it or the thief. A week later, said Mr. Murray, the society received information stating that the portrait was hanging in a public convenience in Elizabeth Street, Hobart. The portrait had been folded into four, torn at the top and had several drawing pin holes in it. Mr. Murray said it was most unfortunate that the theft and damage should have occurred in Hobart as the four photographs had been exhibited at many places throughout the world. The damaged photograph showed a beautiful young woman in a sitting pose and was entitled "Patricia".

Plans are well in hand for the pictorial photography exhibition to be held in the Adult Education Board rooms from January 19th to 21st inclusive. The exhibition, which already has been shown in Hobart and Launceston, was sponsored by the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society in conjunction with the Sesqui-Centennial Committee. In Devonport it will be shown by the local Camera Club. The Hon.Secretary (Mr. S.C. Burtt) said yesterday that all pictures and programs for the exhibition had been received. The exhibition is one of the best of its kind ever shown in the State, as prints have come from leading photographers of most States of the Commonwealth and New Zealand. Tasmania has 42 prints, Victoria 37, New South Wales 30, South Australia 13, Australian Capital Territory five, New Zealand four and Queensland one print. In addition to these 132 prints, there is an invitation panel of 12.

Hundreds of persons have visited the Adult Education Board rooms during the past three days to see the Australasian exhibition of pictorial photography sponsored by the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society in conjunction with the Sesqui-Centennial Committee. Mr. L. Hill, President of the Devonport Camera Club, which conducted the exhibition in Devonport, said yesterday the public had shown great interest in the 144 prints in the exhibition. Many of the patrons, he said, were persons who did not have cameras of their own and usually showed little interest in photography. After the exhibition ended last night, the prints were packed ready for transport to-day to Smithton, where they will be shown in the next few days.

PICTURES OF FEDERATION PEAK CLIMB
Mr. Olegas Truchanas gave members illustrated descriptions of his climbs to Federation Peak at Tuesday's meeting of the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society.
Mr. Olegas Truchanas has climbed the peak twice. He made a solo trip in 1952 from the Huon Valley over Mt. Picton and last year, with Mr. J. de Bavay, he climbed the peak from the Port Davey region.
Federation Peak, in South West Tasmania, can be reached only by walking and climbing some of the most rugged country in the State.
The descriptions were illustrated with color slides. The climb from Port Davey was made in an effort to find an easier route to the peak, but it is now believed that there is no easy route.

The first general meeting for 1954 was held in the club room, Liverpool Street, Hobart on 9th February. The President, Mr. Tapping, was in the chair and there was a good attendance. Mr. Tapping mentioned that the new darkroom had been built by a small Committee of members, Messrs. Walters, McLeod and O’May; and there remained only the internal fittings and wiring to be completed. Mr. Tapping then exhibited the Kodachrome transparencies of the 17th Kodak International Salon and members afterwards voted for their preference.
An invitation from the Y.M.C.A. Camera Circle (Hobart) for members to attend a lecture on the work of the National Geographic Society’s Field Men was received and a good number indicated their intention of attending.
A One-man-show by Mr. A. Hewer was the feature of the evening on February 23. Mr. Hewer exhibited a very fine collection of studies, ranging from portraits and landscapes to natural history subjects; the latter included work done with supplementary lenses and Mr. Hewer’s remarks on this subject were very interesting. Many questions were asked regarding his methods of processing and the replies were most instructive. Mr. Hewer uses D-76 developer and keeps the development time short. He has no troubles with grain.

PHOTOGRAPHERS ENTERTAIN
Members of the Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society last Monday entertained the Hon.Secretary of the Canberra Photographic Society (Mr. A.C. Redpath) at a film evening in the club rooms. Mr. C. Flaws screened a number of transparencies and Mr. Redpath showed slides taken by him during a trip through Central Australia. Members were entertained to supper.
Following the general meeting on Tuesday night, a debate was held on the merits of black and white photography as compared to color. The conclusion arrived at was that both processes were equally capable of pictorial results, but it depended on the man behind the camera.

At a meeting held in the clubroom, Liverpool Street, Hobart, on 9th March, a large gathering of members and visitors were entertained by Mr. Olegas Truchanas with an illustrated lecture on his visits to Federation Peak, in the far South-West of Tasmania. The Peak is only reached after traversing some of the most rugged country in the State, the forests being so dense that progress can only be made by keeping to the mountain ridges.
Mr. Olegas Truchanas took most of the very excellent collection of Kodachrome transparencies when he climbed Federation Peak alone in 1952, when his route lay from the Huon Valley over Mt. Picton and the intervening ranges and the remainder in 1953, when, with a companion, Mr. de Bavay, he explored the region from Port Davey with a view to finding an easier route to the Peak. It is obvious from the lecture and the photographs that no easy route exists.
On 29th March, several members of the Society gathered to meet Mr. A.C. Redpath, Hon.Secretary of the Canberra Photographic Society. In the absence of the President who was indisposed, Mr. Redpath was introduced by Mr. A.B. Maddock. Mr. C. Flaws screened a selection of Kodachrome slides from several members, showing a good cross-section of scenery in Tasmania. Mr. Redpath then exhibited slides taken during a trip through Central Australia and members were able to compare the great differences in the lighting and scenery.
A debate was held on the respective merits of Color versus Black-and-White at the general meeting on March 30. Opinions expressed were very interesting and while it was claimed that Color did not give the worker much scope for individual expression, the process being mostly mechanical and not under the control of the worker, good pictorial work could be done by experienced workers giving careful attention to lighting and composition at the time of exposure. It was finally decided that the two systems had equal merits and it was the man behind the camera that counted.

On 24th April, the Society held their Autumn Outing. The poor weather conditions probably accounted for the small number of members attending, but those who turned up enjoyed the outing in spite of the prevailing poor light conditions. Three car-loads left the Town Hall at about 9.50am and made their way to the Esplanade at New Norfolk, where the color enthusiasts found some subjects along the waterfront worthy of a few shots. After lunch the party moved on to the Salmon Ponds, with a stop on the way at a very beautiful spot along the Lachlan Road, where a noble group of poplars in Autumn tints, with the leaves blowing away in clouds, afforded more color shots. At the Salmon Ponds, most of the leaves had fallen and the light was very poor; so an early start for home was made.
On 27th April, the first Color Competition of the year closed. After the transparencies are judged they will be screened at the meeting on 11th May. The President, Mr. Tapping, screened some 40 or 50 slides taken during the Royal Visit. Some very fine transparencies were seen and by popular vote the first six places were awarded to: Messrs. Smith, Vallance, Tapping, Kirwan, Tapping and Vallance respectively. The points won will count in the Color Competition Aggregate for the year.

The judges, Messrs. Chatterton, Lithgow and Overell, remarked that the standard was not up to the usual, especially in A GRADE. The biggest fault was the poor mounting of many of the entries.

At the meeting on June 29th, a very interesting lecture was delivered by Mr. Lloyd Jones of the Aero Club. This was illustrated by a very fine collection of Kodachrome transparencies taken during his many flights over Tasmania. The views afforded members an idea of the scenery of many parts of the Island that were quite inaccessible except by air and the rugged grandeur of the south-western portion was particularly well presented. The excellence of Mr. Jones transparencies was outstanding. They were needle-sharp and perfectly exposed. At the conclusion the President, Mr. Tapping, thanked Mr. Jones on behalf of members and congratulated him on the quality of the slides.

Since so many people expressed their disappointment in missing his lecture on Federation Peak, Mr. Olegas Truchanas repeated it on 13th July. As it was felt that the club room might be a bit small for the occasion, the meeting was held in the Mayor’s Court-room which was packed by an appreciative audience.
At the meeting on July 27th, Mr. A.E. Roberts conducted a One-Man-Show. The large number of prints exhibited included all types of subjects, but perhaps the most outstanding were his portrait studies, which have won much success at various exhibitions and club competitions. Members were much interested in his explanations of his methods of working. Following the One-Man-Show, Mr. Tapping screened a selection of Kodachrome slides received from the Canberra Photographic Society and members afterwards voted for their preferences.
Ways and means of attracting young members to the society were discussed at the meeting on 10th August; this was followed by the judging of the competitions, which resulted:

A joint meeting with the Cine Society was held on 1st September. The Cine Society screened the Sesqui-Centennial Prizewinning film “Operation Pedder” by Mr. Bruce Davis, taken round Lake Pedder in the Western regions of the State. This was followed by three American amateur films, “1947 Follies on Ice” and two newsreel types of film. The society’s exhibit consisted of some forty Kodachrome slides by various members and of fifty prints.

First a series of slides containing pieces of various materials was screened, followed by a number of half-plate prints of photographs of many familiar objects taken at unusual angles, etc. Some were greatly enlarged and others natural size. Members were asked to name the various exhibits. The competition was won by R. O’May, with R. Read second. The event caused a great deal of interest and amusement.

The Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society takes great pleasure in presenting Tasmania's South-West in pictures and music.
Produced by OLEGAS TRUCHANAS, foremost Tasmanian camera artist, this unique area of the Commonwealth becomes a spectacle of unsurpassed impact. An unforgettable zone of magnificent moods, color and friendliness.
Aircraft, canoe, and climbing boots are his means of movement. His motivation, a driving sense of urgency to record the primeval scene that is passing. A compulsion to share the music and the language of his mountains. A whispering melody that only the true bushman ever hears: the booming crescendo of the storms that cast defiance to the timid. Rugged Tasmania, in all her charm and awe, portrayed by the most understanding and sensitive traveler ever to pass through the Western Portal of the Arthurs.
PROJECTION BY RALPH HOPE-JOHNSTONE
An original electronic set-up designed to handle the enormous magnitude of the story and the music is used. The presentation has a smoothness and unobtrusiveness that takes the beholder right into the theme and awakens a complete and all-embrasive enjoyment.
The Southern Tasmanian Photographic Society meets in the Arts Building, University of Tasmania, on the Second and Last Tuesday of the Month at 8pm.
The meetings are open to visitors at all times.
