How to Shoot a Person by a Campfire I am going camping and would like to try a profile of my husband lit by the campfire. I have a Canon Rebel TI. I have not done much with night or low-light photography. Any advice?

Well, no, but I've been told a thousand times what to do here. Get close to the fire, and point the lens at the blaze so it fills most of the frame. Push your AE lock button (a * symbol, I believe), recompose, and shoot. Bracket like mad!

Shoot wide open and meter off what the fire is illuminating, rather than the flames themselves. The flames will over-expose a little, but you will get more detail of your husband. Have him sit close to the fire - but not TOO close. :) As Alex pointed out ... Bracket over and under.
