Flash powder #1

Sound of a "Flashing powder" flash. In the middle of the 19th century, the average exposure time in photography was around 30 seconds.

Once ignited, its combustion provides a bright light, noise but also a lot of smoke. The first flash was born and made it possible to shorten exposure times.
