I went out and tried some night shots for the first time and these are some of the better ones.They have not been edited as I want tips to improve my skills.

I mainly played with shutter speed and used the widest aperture setting on my Sony DSC-P100.







Any help would be appreciated.

 

a little more focus on the object your shooting....my two cents.

 

I'd probably kill the lights for night shots, they pull the focus of the camera, and you lose some detail.

spoken from the masta photo man

 

yeah i would shoot with the headlights off.

 

Mess with the ISO. Use something at about 160 and leave the shutter open for a 1 sec to 1.6 sec

 

Not bad for first attempt....

 

ya i'm with rodrez, turn off the headlights

 

heres my pic taken by a dsc-p100

 

yea play with the iso, i always shoot iso 100 basically for anything thats not sun like brightness.


if you dont have a tripod, get one, you will need it for some of the shots, play with the exposures some

and then if your camera allows it, or in ps, adjust the white balance settings

thats a very good shot and should show you wat you can do with the dsc-p100!!

 

for first attempt

 

Not bad.....I agree about the lights.

 

Thanks for all of the help and comments.I was wondering about the headlights messing up the focus so now I know.

I think next time Im gonna go out and take more and take a notepad and write down what speed,aperture,iso,wb for each shot so i can go home and review the results and see what worked best.

That pic of the G35 looks great.The little DSC-P100 takes pretty good pics for a pocket camera.

Keep the tips and comments coming.

 

as mentioned above, just kill the lights. and the location and lighting is a big part.
sorry if im a repeat

 

Sell the Sony and get a Canon.

 

Yeah I was thinkin about a G6.I like the size of the Sony but I sacrifice a quality.

I also need to get a copy of Photoshop since the pics I posted are right off the camera and not edited except resized.

I like this picture but I find myself looking at the background more then the car. Very nice photo though.
