Flash-Light Pictures 
By 
the 
introduction 
of 
Eastman 
Flash 
Sheets, pic-
ture 
taking 
at 
night 
has 
been wonderfully 
simp
lified. 
A 
package 
of flash s
heets
, a piece of 
cardboard, 
a pin 
and 
a 
match 
complete 
the 
li
st 
of  essential  extras, 
al
though 
a 
Kodak 
Flash 
Sheet 
Holder 
is a 
great 
con-
venience. 
With 
flash sheets, no 
lamp 
is necessary, 
there 
is a 
minimum 
of 
smoke 
and 
they 
are 
far safer 
than 
any 
other 
self-burning  flash 
medium, 
besides  giving  a 
softer 
light 
that 
is  less 
trying 
to 
the 
eyes. 
Many 
interiors 
ca
n be 
taken 
with 
the 
flash 
sheets 
that 
are 
impracticable 
by 
daylight, 
either 
by 
reason 
of  a  l
ack 
of 
illumination 
or 
because 
there 
are 
win-
dows in a 
direct 
line of view which 
cannot 
be 
dark-
ened sufficiently 
to 
prevent 
the 
blurring 
of 
the 
pic-
ture. 
Evening 
parties, groups 
around 
a 
dinner 
or 
card 
table 
or 
single 
portraits 
may 
be readily 
made 
by 
the 
use of 
our 
flash sheets, 
thus 
enab
ling 
the 
amateur 
to 
obtain 
souvenirs 
of 
many 
occasions  which, 
but 
for 
the 
flash-light,  would  be 
quite 
beyond 
the 
range 
of 
the 
art. 
Preparations 
for 
the 
Flash-Th
e 
camera 
should 
be 
prepared 
for 
time 
exposures, 
as 
directed 
on 
page 
15 
of 
this 
manual 
(s
top 
f.ll 
must 
be  used), 
and 
placed 
on 
some level 
support 
where 
it 
will 
take 
in 
the 
view desired.
