USE FLASH

using flash defeats the purpose of a long exposure... it makes the light unnatural, amirite?
>> Kilz2latex !!3htj9hFDMA4
well then atleast expose properly

where do you live that there is like 0 wind?

Missouri. And how shall I expose properly? Use a longer shutter speed? This is over a bonfire... since us hicktown boys don't know any better than to keep a flame out in the open instead of in the woods.

longer shutter speed, smaller aperture

I like your snap. I assume you're using a tripod, so longer exposures with smaller apertures will give you clearer shots.

A flash or some other external lighting can still be used at nite with a long(ish) exposure and have some amazing results.

Make sure your ISO is set low so as to avoid noise, as it can show up rather obviously in dark nite shots.

Try to find more than one colour of light in your long exposures, hopefully from different angles/sources, as it will make textures more interesting.

Hope some of this helps. Keep shooting!
