[QUOTE="PatrickDeBie, post: 380744, member: 33785"] You say you want "sharper" smoke. That's only possible with faster shutter speeds or more light. You're allready shooting at f/3.5, ISO 640. With a larger aperture, you'll get a smaller DOF and the smoke will be out of focus. With a higher ISO you'll introduce more noise into the pictures. Also not an option. So therefor, the easier approach (using a flash) IS the better approach in this situation. Why take the difficult path when you can make your life a lot easier and focus more on difficult smoke "patterns"? ;) Not saying that you shouldn't challenge yourself, I encourage you to do so, but in this situation there is no solution other than raising the ISO or using a larger aperture, which both have a negative impact on the end result. So therefor you should use a flash. [/QUOTE]
