erated a photographic circle less than one hundred feet in circumference is etched out of the surrounding blackness of the night. But observing Scene 29 on the same page, you Avill see that this amount of light is sufficient for the closeups.
Naturally the amateur will not have the opportunity to use a poAver generator set in filming his night scenes, but here again the manufacturer has come to his aid in the development of special photographic flares for both still and movie-camera work. Those used in motion-picture work burn from a half minute to tAVO minutes, giving a clear Avhite photographic light. In using flares it is Avell to use two or three at a time, getting them as close to the subject as possible and close to the ground as well. Be absolutely sure that the smoke Avill blow away from the subject and not into the picture, even near to the edges of your camera range. It is advisable in all night work to shoot with the lens Avide open. It is also very useful to take advantage of a reflector, or even a sheet, or a big piece of tin serving as a reflector to add to the light of the flares, as one should ahvays remember that it takes a strong light to etch a picture on the film.
FILTERS
While on the subject of lighting it is perhaps advisable to say a feAv words about the use of filters, as many beautiful effects can be obtained by the employment of these color screens, especially if the operator is using panchromatic film. Possibly the greatest pleasure to be had in photography is by experimentation, and filters will give the opportunity for working out all sorts of variations and interesting accomplishments.
The photographic day can be greatly lengthened by the use of filters as they allow the cameraman to shoot directly into his source of light and still make a picture. In Scene 16, page 19, the shipwrecked sailors are silhouetted against the shining sands of the beach just at sundown. The direct light Avould have been so weak that it would have given a very poor result if a picture had been attempted with the sun at the camera
