The reason is that with today's fast pan films, ordinary household lamps can be satisfactorily used for photo- graphic lighting purposes. The question, of course, is "How?" And the answer, in short, is "Just place the bulbs in regular cardboard photo reflectors and give longer ex- posures than those required when using photo lamps. There'snothing at all difficult about it. j; "or instance, with one 1.0D -watt and one 160 -watt bulb in photo- graphic reflectors, the exposure should be just about four times as long as would be required :tor similar lighting set-ups using a No, 1 and No. 2 floodlamp.

If you don't have an exposure cal- culator, here's a lighting arrange- ment which will give you good re- sults for informal indoor portraiture or small group pictures. Place a 150- ht oft ecamera and buin tabout five or, to the feet distant from the subject. The light should bo high enough so that it shines down on the subject as light from the top of a window might do. Next, place a 100 -watt bulb, in re- fleeter, about five feet from the subject, but this tihne to the left of the camera and in a low position. The purpose of this light is to brighten the shadows cast by the more powerful bulb. The correct ex posure with extra -fast pan film will then be about 1/5 second at f/8, or one full second at the largest opening on a box camera. 6 John van Guilder BLUEVALE Field Ambulances, and to LAI. spot. and civilian hospitals wlieea Can- adian patients may be.
