Excerpt from The Hand Camera Manual: A Beginner's Guide to Photography in Its Connection With the Hand Camera Hand-camera work has now become not only so fascinating a pursuit, but so useful a hobby, as to need special attention and study, apart from other branches of photography. In this direction the difficulty hitherto has lain in the fact that works devoted to photography only partially applied to the Hand Camera. Even then too, the application could only be made by one already fully conversant with, at all events, the Degreesgeneral outline of the art or science. Is is the purpose of this manual to supply the missing link, to provide an elementary handbook to photography in its direct connection with the use of the hand-camera.
