[QUOTE="MartinCornwall, post: 242055, member: 12701"] Why is f/16 to high? If the exposure time were longer.[/QUOTE] Using f/16 means you would need very bright artificial light source. Fire is bright but when spinning fire f/8- f/11 is fine. It would only need to around f/16 or above if you are creating a firewall, which does require no wind. Also at f/16 means that your backgrounds take longer to 'burn in'. If you are using that setting to make the person sharp then ask them to stand a bit stiller. Children are known not to stand still, but can still achieve 30sec exposures with them. Although not sharp but still recognizable. ND filters will give you a longer exposure time but will again require a brighter light source. Its better to wait for it to be darker.
