Hi,
We're off on a glamping weekend next week for a birthday do. I anticipate there will be a camp fire we will be gathering around in the evening (if only for warmth ) and I thought it would be good if I could get a some decent shots of the family to present to them later. Trouble is I don't normally do people shots (done scouts stuff but that's when they're doing stuff, running etc) and have never had the opportunity to shoot any camp fire stuff.
Can anyone advise on the best way to go about it, I'd rather not use flash but use the light from the fire as a nice warm glow and getting the fire into the shots too, shutter speed may be an issue so I may need to up the ISO.
The equipment I will be using is: Nikon D7000, 50 f/1.4, 18-70 (not the 2.8) couple of flash and a diffuser if really needed.
All advice gratefully received.
Paul
