I've also experimented with low-light fiber optics and LEDs and I can concur with the above posts that a slow shutter speed certainly works best(try from about 1/50 and work up from there to see what works well). I always use manual mode and work with ISO ranging from 400 to 640. A tripod will be extremely useful and you may want to play with the focusing options, I like single-servo AF the best for lighting. You can also set your D lighting a little lower to make the lighting really pop. This is probably late information, but if you want to discuss the D5100 more in-depth at any time feel free to shoot me a message and I'll try my best to help.</p></blockquote><p></p>
