FIRE AND THE FILMS
PHOTOGRAPHIC TRADE SHOWS INCREASE The inveterate statistician -would find it a hard task to calculate the number of feet of film exposed at the fire in Freeman's Bay. Some city photographic firms state that the number of films brought to be developed this morning was double that of other days. Few films do not include at least one picture of the blaze. “A God-send,” is how one dealer described the fire. Trade this morning has been brisk, as the pile of photos awaiting their owners proclaimed. Nearly half of these showed the blaze, many' taken from widely differing angles. Those photographs taken during the daytime came out clearly, hut those taken after dark were failures. “All ordinary plates are not affected by red light,” explained one of the photographic experts. Most of the flames were either red or yellow, and it was only with special panchromatic plates, which are sensitive to ail colours, that they could be reproduced.
