   I just read about an unusual "flashbulb" in the November National
Geographic Magazine. Some explorers wanted to photograph a shipwreck at
a depth of 800+ feet. They filled two glass fishing floats with 24 flash
bulbs each and a remote triggering device. Then they suspended the floats
out of view of the camera and fired. The picture was very well exposed,
but was an eerie blue color. I think one of them failed to fire. I just
wonder how they got 24 flash bulbs and a remote into a glass float in the
first place.
