HISTORY of MOSMAN CAMERA CLUB

MOSMAN PHOTOGRAPHIC SOCIETY

1906 - The following was in the Sydney Morning Herald on the 5th November.
There was a large attendance at the Mosman Town Hall on Friday evening on the occasion of a concert and lecture held for the purpose of raising funds to fit up and provide a dark room and premises for the newly formed Mosman Photographic Society.
The Mayor of Mosman: Alderman P. Leahy, presided and after having wished the society success he introduced to the gathering his Honor Judge Docker, the president of the society.
An interesting lecture was delivered by Mr Walter Burke, FRPS, which was illustrated by numerous lantern slides.
An excellent musical programme was then rendered, amongst the contributors being Miss Madge Helmrich, Miss Marjorie Davis, Mr Gilhooley playing the flute obligato, Messrs Clarke and Millard. Mr James acted as accompanist.
An enjoyable evening was spent and the sum realised will materially assist the movement. Some 60 members are already enrolled.

COLOR PHOTOGRAPHY
Although not yet perfect, color photography has made rapid advancement during recent years.
The average person knows little of the various color processes now used and therefore the lecture on the subject delivered by Mr A.V. Wilkinson of the Town and Country Journal before the Mosman Photographic Society last week proved interesting.
Mr Wilkinson had an appreciative audience and his remarks were closely followed. The lecturer stated that all natural color photography was based on the principle that all the colors of the spectrum as seen in nature are capable of being reproduced by combination from the three primary colors red, yellow and blue and then dealt in detail with several processes of color photography.
During the course of the lecture, Mr Wilkinson, passed round the audience a number of examples of fine work in three colors, by various processes and by means of a lantern and a screen the absorption of certain rays by certain colored light filters was demonstrated and lantern slides in natural colors were also shown.
Mr Wilkinson also had set up in the hall a chromoscope, which produces the three colors by what is known as the additional method, ordinary white light being combined by means of mirrors. At the conclusion of the lecture, the lecturer was accorded a vote of thanks.
At a later date Mr Wilkinson will show one process of color photography in its entirety in a practical manner.
