Abstract
MANY of us who frequent photographic galleries or exhibitions have often been struck with the fact that, although a great amount of photographic skill has evidently been bestowed on the production of some particular print, yet in spite of this the effect is not at all pleasing to the eye, and the picture is not “a success.” In many cases this is due to faulty composition, the photographer not having paid sufficient, if any, attention to the elementary laws governing this branch of the art. In photography, as in painting, there are many fundamental rules which must be followed to secure a pleasing effect, and the aim of the author of this book is to set out these points for the use of the photographer.
