Shooting Indooor light and Flame at the same time...

[Shutterbug]

I have an idea for a shot (The shot is for a college scholarship program) but I don't know how to do it correctly.

I own a D70 (I'm doing this digitally) and whenever I use the indoor white balance and shoot fire, it looks white. It works fine on natural light so I don't have a problem.

But, the shot I'm doing involves lighting a model (6 year old boy) holding something on fire, and I can't use natural light balance with my modeling lights.

So, how would I fix this? I can't use film, because I don't have access to a color darkroom and if you use film you have to process the film yourself. I would use my strobes, but the D70 has no PC flash sync.

Help? Please?

Manual white balance maybe?

This thing gives you a PC connection. 50 bucks... plus you'll be able to connect the thyristor flash safely to it.

Shoot raw and then adjust white balance manually until it looks like you want it to look. Also make sure you don't overexpose the flame, which is real easy to do.

Cheers

You could try putting colour correction gels over the lights to get their Mired value neare the candle. That should sort it.
