Professional Photographers Conven-
tion in Philadelphia, Pa. Mr.. Mar
shall finds that like doctors and 9th
er professional men he must keep in
touch with the latest developments
in his profession in order to be able
to make better photographs for his
customers.
Practical demonstrations of various
branches of photography were fea-
ture of the meeting, whereby those
attending could actually see the lat
est developments in the way of light
ing, colors, modelling, portrait and
fashion photography, camera speed
and other phases of the work. It is
very interesting to know that flash
pictures can be made at 1-30, 900 part
of second which is fast enough to
stop all human motion. This is the
fastest speed developed which has
proven practical for picture work.
Composition, lighting, color and tech
nique were discussed by men of out
standing merits in their profession.
The large group of photographers
in attendance enjoyed the demonstra-
tion and speeches of the session and
are more aware of the progress made
in their professional field.
