Question: what are people's techniques for shooting in conditions like this? |
Are you trying to get more light in the image? If so, chuck the camera on tripod or table, put it in Shutter Priority and dial in around 2 sec on f/8, and go from there. Camera metered off the bright flames, giving you a reasonably sharp image of the fire at the expense of dark surround.
