    Hot glass emits sodium vapors. Sodium vapors block the wavelength of the light that the film is sensitive to. The torch emits on wider spectrum so the torch flames are leaving an impression on the film.

    Glassblowers didymium goggles block the torches spectrum but can’t hide the hot sodium emitting light. The hot gas that you can see when looking though glassblowers goggles is what looks black in your photo.
