Man make fire..... I take picture

Photography fire and any kind of flame sounds great but when it comes to actually making the shot it is a different story. Joe and I often bonfire it up on Friday nights especially at this time of year. Above are some of the shots I took in our own fire pit. Here are some tips to getting the best shot you can from your fire. Remember shots of bonfires and campfires are a great way to have warmth in your photos. A longer shutter time is the way to go for sure. Another tip is the lower the F setting the better. There will be some natural blurring so if you can rest the camera on something or of course use a tripod the better the shot will come out. You must also realize that if you are taking pictures of people around the fire that unless they are staying fairly still they might appear blurred as well.
