Light Bulbs Are Really "Dark Suckers"

The realization that we are surrounded by Dark Suckers is of course a life changing concept for photographers.
We need to consider the camera as a Dark Repeller. The larger the aperture opening is the less dark is repelled. Also, if the shutter is open for too long the cameras' ability to repel dark is weakened. It becomes very important to know at all times where the dark suckers are located since the sucking and the repelling must be in balance to get a good photo.
As always there is an exception to rules. If you consider "red eye" you will understand that your camera now has become a dark sucker instead of a repeller. This certainly is not good for the subject in the picture.

Perhaps you should submit an article to "Popular Photography" or some other photo mag. I think you have it all figured out. DJM
