It Is a aafe wager that your attention will he held by the oae showing fluffy White clouds, aad aot the oaa with an unattractive, grayish white sky. Photographic films are very sensitive to blue and ultra-rtolet light, and unless the exposure is very near correct, a blue sky will be recorded in a very light tone.

For example, with a factor of two, such as the K-2, you would double the normal exposure by using the next larger lens open»~ ing--such as f/8 Instead of t/11--or use 1/50 of a*second instead of 1/100. Still another handy filler that IS useful under certain conditions Is known as a sky filter. This Is a divided filter, the top half being light yellow and the bottom half clear. The design permits filtering the sky without affecting the toreground, and no Increase In exposura Is required. This Is especially rala* able when regular or a "chrome" type film la used In cameras having simple lenses and shutters. Every camera-hobbyist should have several filters.
