Light walls to the room also assist in keeping the exposures short as they help to reflect a lot of light. If the subject can be depended on not to move during an exposure of 2 to 4 seconds a lens working at an aperture as small as f/8 can be used for a subject at a distance of 6 to 8 ft. from the light with only one 100-watt lamp. If this lamp is used in con¬ junction with several others in the room for general illumination and a larger stop can be employed exposures of one second or less are possible — with hypersensitive pan. film of course.

The table of exposures for artificial light given in “ The A.P.” Christmas Number will be found very useful in this respect, but the amateur who uses the modern fast pan. material with a large lens aperture will be surprised at the number of indoor subjects he can photograph successfully.
By way of experiment a portrait was taken by the light of a match and is reproduced here. This should en¬ courage everyone to try their hand at indoor photography with ordinary artificial light this Christmas. There will be no lack of material for pictures.
