Doc,

    If you have access to a water torch the process is easy as the flame
    shows up green...and simply dimming the lights a bit works for all
    media 

    I have had : minimal success with low light and a flash ( flame
    components are visible but length hard to discern) background light
    is ok, but turn off the light on the bench,or over it.this gives a
    reasonable photo, or video 

    if you have colour filters and are videoing it: I have used a yellow
    filter and a polarized grey#3 on a cannon XL-1S video camera with
    good results (makes the flame appear green/blue). You can also just
    tape gels,OR polarized films over the lens sans filter attachments
    and get good colours from yellow to blue and the entire flame is
    visible length, bushiness or not, etc.. 

    best were with 2 gold reflecting umbrellas ( not a bright
    white/silver one) directing light away from the work and to diffuse
    the fluorescent room light Using fairly close up lens work...but it
    was a 23 minute how- to and soldering was not the focus of the
    project -flush setting was the best stills I ever took for other
    people were in as dim a light as was possible to see hands and
    workpiece, but using a flash to take the shots hope you can glean
    something useful here.
