INFRA-RED PLATE RECORDS 590 SQUARE MILES OF THE CANTERBURY PLAINS.—The possibilities of infra-red photography are further demonstrated by this picture taken from Cooper's Knob by a photographer of "The Press." Fromcamera to the nearest foothills the distance was 56 miles. The mountain ranges shown in the background extend from the Rangitata Gorge area (at left) to the Rakaia Gorge, shown on the extreme right of the photograph. A spur of the Port Hills above Tat Tapu, is shown in the foreground (at left), and in the middle distance a white line indicates the Dunedin-Christchurch railway line. The first infra-red photograph taken in Christchurch appeared in "The Press" last Thursday.
