I'm having trouble with some low light photos. I'm taking some pictures of the glowing vacuum tubes on my amplifier in low light. I wanted to emphasis the glow and the tube internals illuminated by the glow. What I got was a bunch of photos that looked like they were taken in bad lighting. Not the blackness with illuminated tubes that I envisioned.I'm using a Nikon N70 with a Sigma 28-80mm lens. I set the camera to do macro and manual focus (getting the thing to focus automatically was hit and miss at best). Otherwise, it was fully automatic (I'm a newbie, auto seems to work best for me so far). I did have it set on the close-up auto-program. Oh, and Fuji 200 speed film. Exposure times were in the 2-5 second range. I neglected to note the f-stop settings (the camera was on auto).
I figure that much of this is trial and error, but any help to get me headed done the right path would be appreciated. Anyone have any suggestions?
