Frank R. Fraprie Elements of Photography

Annotation

Whilst the greatest effort has been made to ensure the quality of this text, due to the historical nature of this content, in some rare cases there may be minor issues with legibility. For a tripod choose a solid, well made wooden one, in three or more sections, which with large cameras will pack into the space provided in the carrying case. A metal or wooden tripod stay is often useful, and it is a good plan to see that the legs of the tripod are pro vided with some device which makes their accidental detachment impossible. The writer's is fitted with brass turnbuckles which spread out the legs rigidly against their pins and strengthen the top remarkably.
