jcbradshaw Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #1 · Capture flame out of pistol? I would like to capture the flame out of a pistol being fired by a friend. For dramatic effect, I want to shoot at dusk. This will be low-tech, so timing will be the largest challenge. I am thinking of a wide aperture, low ISO, slow shutter (like 1/2 second), and an exposure that, without the flame or flash would be quite dark, but not completely black. Maybe a touch of flash if the flame does not adequately light the subject, but I'd rather not. Maybe back-lit? Any thoughts? Any experience? Any examples? Thanks, Jeff Sep 26, 2012 at 07:14 PM

jcbradshaw Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #5 · Capture flame out of pistol? Thanks for the EXIF, Jerald. I agree on the shutter speed. But like pb said, "good ole fashion timing." I have an old .357 revolver with a 6" barrel. It blows a little flame when using .38 special ammo. But it is impressive when using .357. I want to capture that. Sep 26, 2012 at 08:34 PM

VarsityMonthly Offline • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #7 · Capture flame out of pistol? Yes all about the timing. I do a lot of Cowboy Mounted Shooting and the goal is to catch as much flame as possible. TIP: If you hear the gun shot you are too late. Sep 26, 2012 at 09:04 PM

jcbradshaw Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #12 · Capture flame out of pistol? Has anybody ever done this in very low light, like around dusk? Sep 27, 2012 at 12:21 AM

innaeddy1 Offline • • • Upload & Sell: On p.1 #13 · Capture flame out of pistol? Why not just go at it like capturing lighting or fireworks and open the shutter after the sound close the shutter. I would think it would be easier in low light as this would allow you to leave the shutter open longer without blowing the highlights, or just use a nd filter Andy Sep 27, 2012 at 02:27 AM

jcbradshaw Offline • • • Upload & Sell: Off p.1 #14 · Capture flame out of pistol? Good thought, Andy. Kind of my approach but even easier from a timing standpoint. I hope we have enough ammo so I can try all of these. Sep 27, 2012 at 02:34 AM
