@jasehoad No one wants to see that. February's selfie would get 0 views. Well maybe 1 sympathy view anyway. Sound advice Jase, knew I could count on you ;P
I like the contrast of this one which had a short exposure time and a medium ISO.
Camera: Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL
Exposure: 0.002 sec (1/500)
Aperture: f/9.0
ISO Speed: 400
Focal Length: 200 mm
But this one has had a better reception on here which was with a lower ISO and a slightly longer exposure
Camera: Canon EOS 350D DIGITAL
Exposure: 0.01 sec (1/100)
Aperture: f/5.6
ISO Speed: 100
Focal Length: 200 mm
I've tried taking some with longer exposures and much smaller apertures but I prefer the more contrasty look in comparison to the smoother look. the exception being to capture movement in fire poi, for that I prefer a long exposure to catch the light trails/
Just have fun experimenting!
Here's mine (shot though the glass of our wood stove)
Exif info:
Camera: Fujifilm FinePix S4000
Exposure: 0.0036 sec (10/2800)
Aperture: f/3.1
ISO Speed: 200
Focal Length: 4.3 mm
As you can see by the focal length me and my camera were pretty close to the fire with was doable because and because of the glass; otherwise the reflections on the glass would interfere. I did want a high contrast, so I've used a short exposure and semi low ISO.
@bmnorthernlight fire is on my list too but only have radiators in my house and they dont make interesting shots - and husband is not keen on me setting fire to stuff : )
As I said, I was pretty happy with that shot myself. There are some other fire pictures in my project, but I picked that one to post as I felt it's probably my best attempt. (Although, the one of the flaming marshmallow might have more comedy value!)
Fire is so cool to photograph - it's one of my favourite subjects to shoot - so good luck with all your fire photos!
@mortisa well, I have a coal effect gas fire and had planned to take some pics of the glow. But instead of Santa I had a WHOLE brick come down the chimney and need to get everything checked now...argh!!
My tip is to experiment! Even just put the camera on a tripod and get a candle out and shoot at different shutters and apertures, upload, see which style appeals to YOU, and then experiment with whatever works for you!
Wow those are amazing! My camera doesn't do clever stuff so I was pleased with this one... I shot it on 'continuous' for a while which seemed to pick up all the wonderful flicks and licks of flame but it's the base I love best which is just as well as I missed the top! :)
my 2 best fire photos
i don't have the exif for this one...i'm sure i have it on my computer at home though
exif
Exposure: 0.025 sec (1/40)
Aperture: f/1.8
ISO Speed: 800
Focal Length: 35 mm
@emmaroobers thanks!
i didn't really think about burning myself or the camera to be honest...the first one the sparks came a little close, but my husband was stoking the fire...for the marshmallow one it was actually just a lucky shot....i got this on the first try
Thank you so much for your advice....this was the best one of the bunch, but at the same time it was about what I was burning which was most important :) Any ideas on cropping?

The EXIF for that shot is -
Camera: NIKON D3000
Exposure: 1 sec (1/1)
Aperture: f/16.0
ISO Speed: 400
Focal Length: 18 mm
Does that help at all?
I think it depends on what you want.

Ah, thanks everyone. :)

Ahh, your marshmallows shot is better than mine. :)
@emmaroobers
My camera's got pretty close to the fire on a couple of occasions, but I've never had any problems with burning it!
