Quote:the Flash I do have is just a pop up one on my camera should I use it or is that not a good thing to use on Fire scenes? thanks

 

Scott I remember you sawing for the large fire in Minneapolis you had your flash pointing up for that one. Is that something I should look into? thanks for all the advice
 

Josh,

 

You will have to play around with the pop-up flash to see what it will do for your style of photography. 

 

I will sometimes place diffuser on one of my SB-700 flash units and position the flash head straight up into the air in order to fill the shadows. See the attached photos as an example. Both shots were taken at a house fire on Humboldt Avenue last November.

 

The camera settings were:

 

ISO 6400

1/160 second

f/2.8

-0.3 exposure dialed in on the flash with the diffuser in place

 

Hope this helps.

 

Scott
