Flash Light Black
what are some good settings for no light shots withouth making it look artificial with a flash?
I have a d60 and i was to try some self shots with a purple black light
or an electronic disco ball. I really want to get better with manual
No camera will take no light shots, however all DSLR will work in very, very low light given a long enough shutter speed as there's no reciprocity failure that film has. (Film responds less and less to light the longer it's exposed).
As an experiment I have shots of the middle of a field on a moonless night in full colour, the shutter speed was 24 minutes at 100 ISO. Very unspectacular, but the lighting is 'eerie'.
In low light as you suggest forget Auto Focus no camera will Auto Focus in such low light, camera on a tripod, low ISO (noise gets worse on long exposures, it's better to expose for longer), aperture wide open (focus will be more critical) and be prepared to pose for several seconds.
The maximum shutter time for your camera is 30 seconds, for anything longer than that you will need to set the shutter to 'B' mode and hold the shutter open with a cable release.
Note your camera will still try to render the scene as if it was properly illuminated, don't be surprised if you get perfect colour shots, probably not what you would expect. You might have to deliberately underexpose.
Low key shots such as this are easier when brightly lit and just underexposed using manual then shutter times will be more normal. That's how my Avatar (top left) was shot.

Survivors recount horror of Hiroshima
Sachiko Nakabushi was a five-year-old kindergartner when her world exploded in a blinding flash of light and then drowned in a shower of black, poison rain. Her kindergarten, in Hiroshima, was across the street from her house, both one mile from the center of the blast.
