Aluminum powder and potassium perchlorate are the only two components of the pyrotechnic industry's standard flash powder. It provides a great balance of stability and power, and is the composition used in most commercial exploding fireworks. A ratio of 7 parts Potassium Perchlorate to 3 parts Aluminum is the composition used by most pyrotechnicians. A ratio of 2 units potassium perchlorate to 1 unit Dark Pyro Aluminum is closer to stoichiometric, and may produce a louder report.
you clearly have no practical knowledge of flashpowder even some of the most sensitive and powerful flash compositions would not have damaged the camera (completely would have knocked it over) this was clearly stated as sodium nitrate based and I presume with relatively coarse aluminium. though these are ratios that are used for flashpowder (though never in my years have I seen it done with sodium nitrate) I would not have labelled this as flash
sodium nitrate like the names says, made by reacting sodium metal nitric acid, purity varies by the purity of the chemicals used and by the ambient conditions on which the reaction occurs.
If you mix it with water and dry it it burns a lot faster.

Good as this gives pure spectral color of yellow. Not just white or any mixture - monochromatic fire.

and after that u takr the NaNO3 and make a low quality smokebomb : D

if that were 30g of flash powder we would not know what happened because the camera would not have survived.

Like that was cool But that looks like a bin behide it, not very safe

If you are going to store this composition for any period of time, do incorporate 2% boric acid to prevent decomposition and even self-ignition.

if miked with acid it creates nitrogendioxide which is deadly

Any ideas how to make sodium nitrate?

you can also put sodium chloride in a electrolosis with a graphite anode(+) and a copper diode (-)and leave it with a 9 volt batery for a while

um... sodium... and nitric acid? i dunno i have a feeling thats it though
