Pictures With Open Flash

INDOOR pictures can be made

The camera is simply set for. "time" or "buib" and placed un 3 Grm support. When you are ready, open the shutter, dis- charge the flash bulb, and close the shutter. That's all there is to it.

The beauty of this method is that it is usable with the aim plest cameras. All that you need is an inexpensive hand-held photoflasher and ready sup- ply of bulbs. And while you can't "shoot on the fly," as you synchronised fast. con with you can make fine Indoor ple- tures with but little equipment. open flash is Exposure for controlled by the type of fash lomp used and by the lamp-to- subject distance.

Three things, however, should be remembered, In' making open flash shots. One is to support the camera firmly, on a table or tripod, since the shutter will be open for a comparatively long period. The second is to be sure no room lights or flections shine in your camera again because the shutter will

be open for longer than usual,“ And third, when using a flash bulb close to your subject, as at 3 to 4 feet, cover the flash reflector with a handkerchief to cut down the light.
