Hi--
I've spent the better part of today trying to photograph fire without much success.
To be clear I'm trying capture as much detail as possible from a flamethrower-like object (hairspray and match) and I'm wondering if there is just too much motion for a clear snap. Attached are a couple of my better photos, but not really capturing what I want.
This is what I'm going for:
fire breathing photo
I've been tinkering with apertures and shutter speeds, but can't seem to nail it down. I like the detail in the faster shutters, but they're a bit too dark to enhance.
Any tips?
thanks!
PS--Oh, I'm shooting a Nikon D80.
