D3100 Night Shots on a fire scene

[jake337]

Do you have a tripod yet? I would buy a tripod, flash and a wireless shutter release. You could then have your camera set where you want, have your flashand reqalase button in your hand. depending on your lens) you could focus to your hyperfocal distance so everything is in focus. You would then set your shutter speed to get the intesnity of the flames you want, and finally walk around with your diffused flash on manual and light your firefighters properly. If your shutter speed is still too low you could use rear curtain flash to freeze your subject in motion.

The problem would be getting your flash off-camera witht hat body. You would also need wireless triggers.

You would like fast, wide angle lens((insert brand here)14mm f2.8) to get a closer hyperfocal distance and keep higher shutter speeds.
