PHotograpHing From a Captive Balloon Within the Reach of Every Photographer, Amateur or Profes-sional—Expense no Longer an Obstacle. It is quite possible to take photographsfrom a captive balloon so small that theexperiment is robbed of almost all of its expense andthe apparatusis convenientto its owneron any fairday he maywish to use balloonneed not be ofmore than 500cubic feet ca-pacity (simplylarge enoughto carry thecamera andlight attach-ments) andmay be inflat-ed by runninga tube fromthe ordinaryhousehold gasmeter to balloon should be spherical in shapeand made of some very light material ofclose texture.
