PHOTOGRAPHING AT CONCERTS
Sir.-The sympathetic plea of your correspondent R. Hutchens, who -pities the poor photographers for not receiving credit for pictures published in The Listener is very moving, but there is at least one other Dunedin photographer who should be happy to remain anonymous. I refer to the individual who makes a practice of letting off flash-bulbs-usually directed at the audience -at almost every concert here by the National Orchestra. It is not conducive to concentrated listening to serious music to see the photographer setting up his fearsome apparatus during an item and to know that one will be blinded by a dazzling flash that will drive away all thought of the music.. Surely, if these pictures of the musical intelligentsia are really necessary, the setting up business could be done in advance and the exposure taken at the last bar of the music, if only someone would tell the poor photographer when to expect it. Then the audience might be spared the diverting spectacle of his. elaborate manoeuvring oyer. choir stalls an, intq the organ console,
