Portraits in front of fireplace
I was asked to take some portraits at a party that my friend is hosting. She would like the portraits to be in front of a fireplace. I was wondering what would be the best way to set this up. I thought about having them sitting down facing at an angle. Also, I just have a shoe mount flash, no other lighting equipment. Thanks.

Here's what I would do... Have them sit or stand as you suggest. Then, meter the fire, then stop the flash down one stop from what the meter says for fill-in. This should turn out a nice picture. I'm not positive on this, as I've never shot fire, but you may want to use tungsten film for this. Just a suggestion, but someone else may be able to comment about that. As a safety net, I would bracket to make sure you get the exposure right. Jerry
