The Modern way in picture making : published as an aid to the amateur photographer . Xn. 6. Spreader Flask Cartridge. 6 feet distant. Steifi .\o. tut Hed tozeai d F. Light at K. .-JJ/.:/ TEl R FOR TRAITl RE JJ Y FLASHLIGHT. 57 and burning brightly. Plenty of gaslight in the room will do no harm andwill prevent the eyes from having that stare so often seen in flashlightpiflures. The color and size of the room is an important factor in theresult, and I would much prefer a medium size room like the ordinarysitting room or dining room and one with light colored walls and will give an all around diffusion of the light which will help greatly insoftening the effect. The first thing to be considered is the size of the flash sheet to be usedand the placing of the light. Regarding the size of the sheet we must con-. sider the color of the subjeft, the color of the room and the distance of thelight from the subjecl. For example, it our subject is quite fair, with lighthair and white dress, and the room is of the color and size before mentioned,a No. I sheet would be sufficient, placed at about six feet distance. Formedium complexion use No. 2 sheet, and for very dark, a No. 3, or putthe No. 2 sheet a little closer. A greater distance of the flash from thesubjeft tends to make a softer lighting and a lesser distance a bolder andstronger ; but about six feet I would consider an average distance. If it isdesired to place the light eight feet away, a larger sheet must be used—say a No. 3 instead of a No. 2, and if it is placed closer than six feet, asmaller sheet will be better.
