Night Fires

[sparky]

I hope I can offer some helpful advice. You are really limited by only using available light. If you can try to get an external flash. There is a big difference in what your eye thinks is enough light and what the camera captures. How much light is captured by the camera is dependant on 3 things: ISO, aperture, and shutter speed. Go out and experiment at night with different settings, don't worry about your subjects, you are interested in seeing how the different settings produce different results. Some people use tripods or monopods at night. The idea is to provide a stable platform to shoot at lower shutter speeds. Brace yourself against a pole or tree to reduce camera shake if you don't have/ or want to use a tri or monopod. This is just a few thoughts to get you started, ask some more questions if you have them! Good luck!
