I'm on my local fire dept as an EMT, so whenever we have fire trainings, I'm usually "on scene" as the first-aid person in case something happens during training!. So I find myself with down time and have become the department photographer, happily snapping photos while the guys do their training!. I'm working on a great presentation for our annual banquet!.
Are there any tips, techniques to taking pictures with fire in the background, usually around dusk and into the night!? I can usually manage to take some good pictures after fiddling with the camera for ages!. Are there any rules of thumb for these conditions that would help me quickly change settings and catch some quick pictures!? It's a Digital Camera w/ plenty of settings for manual mode, aperture, shutter, macro, etc!. I've read through basic photography tips and haven't come across "fire" techniques!. I've seen some incredible fire fighter shots so I know it can be done!.!.!.but easily and quickly and HOW!?Www@QuestionHome@Com
