2 exposure to this weak light is required. Experiment will show proper timing; one printing exposure may be timed 5 minutes, another 15; developing these prints will indicate an intermediate or a longer exposure as desirable. I made a dozen prints for Dollinger, which required two or three hours; a disastrous waste of time, impracticable for a speed merchant; unless it should providentially occur to him that he might meanwhile carry on with his work in another room. In the accompanying print, note the fine rendering of half-tones, the delicacy of shadows, the visible "roundness" of the animals, their lustrous fur. Intensification of this negative would have so added to the density of the highlighted snow as to rob it of every vestige of tones. Following is copy of pencil note on back of print: From collection of H. P. Dollinger, Secy of Scottsbluff Chamber of Commerce. Photo winter of 1933-34 on the Game Reserve. The deer "belong" - the antelope is a visitor. Antelope fairly common here. My friend Dr. Harold J. Cook of Agate Springs Ranch saw 7 yesterday, within 200 yards - about 20 miles north, in southern Sioux county. F.H.S. - March 2, '34. First of several notes having a photographic bearing.
