Fooling the Sun: Photography Now No Longer Entirely Dependent Upon Old Sol.
Saturday evening a party of Fort Wayne newspaper men were invited to the photograph gallery of Miner & Dexter, 44 Calhoun street, to witness the first successful attempt to take phtographs after night by means of incandescent electric light. The electrical part of the exhibition was under the supervision of Edmunds & Law, the electricians. For a years past Mr. Miner and Mr. Law have been experimenting and they have finally "struck it." Forty incandescent bulbs are arranged in an arched wooden frame and the light thrown upon the subject through a thin gauze, so prepared as to give a light almost exactly like that of the sun. The newspaper men were caught in the camera and in each instance the success was pronounced. An expert cannot tell the difference between a picture taken after night by this process from one taken in the day time. After the exhibition was over the scribes sat down to a dainty banquet prepared by Caterer Sordel. The evening was a most pleasant one for the guests, all of whom were greatly interested in the invention.
