Camping fire

Next, I would like to share with you a photo of a camp fire last year. Capturing fire is very interesting. You could go for high shutter speed and freeze the flames for an interesting effect with all the flames distinguishable, or as in my case, go for longer shutter speed and brighten the whole scene also getting smudged flames. The idea is similar to shooting waterfalls.

And then there are the neighbours, who I think got carried away with feeding their fire to an outrageous size.

Here's the start

Lets start off with one of my first photos taken with a DSLR. My camera is a Nikon D3100. Most of the photos, including the one below, are taken with the kit 18-55mm lens. This specific image has a filter applied to it. To be honest, I am not a fan of filters, but in this case it just looked nice. This is one of the rare shots where I left a filter on.
