way too dark, I would tfind a better lit parking lot and turn off the lights on the car.

 

yea sorry ill post some pics with lighting

 

Hate to sound mean but those pics really aren't good.

Keep practicing and play with the settings.

 

take a longer exposure

 

it's a marketing scheme as a way to advertise the sale of his car!


your pictures look just like mine....shitty. no offense. like stated above, it is wayyyy to dark. improve upon the lighting and i bet it would help make them look better!

on another note, the car looks pretty clean.

Read the user's guide. Get a tripod and try some long exposure shots.

::edit::



Here's one. Tripod and 15 second exposure.
It was very very dark. You can get some incredible photos that way.
(This isn't really a good example because I wasn't actually taking a picture of the car. Anyway.)

The problem here is that you have a VERY bright light source in the background and a moderately light driveway lit by that light. But the foreground is just WAY too dark. This almost always causes the foreground to be WAY underexposed. You might try going into Photoshop and lightening the shadows. But given how dark the foreground is, you will probably get all noise if you try to lighten it. Try taking a picture such as this one in an area without such a dark foreground compared to the light sources.

 

still going to need a good light source, night shots of city lights with a long exposure is money, you could set the exposure to 2 hours and take it of a dark alley and it will still be meh..

good lighting plus the right exposure is the key, I'm no expert but here is a few night shots I've taken

 

white balance is essential

 

wow, the pics suck.. but the car looks pretty good!

 

longer shutter speed...heres some of mine in a much darker area than you were with a 15 second shutter speed







canon a610

If I were on the other side of that car on the right it would have been a totally different picture.
I was just trying to show him how much of a difference long exposure makes.

That's the only picture like that I had uploaded.

 

What model Easyshare do you have? I have a LS755 and one gripe I have about it is that it doesn't have a manual exposure/shutter speed setting.
But then again, I have my Sony Mavica CD-500 for that. Can't wait to get some real digital slr cameras later.

 

i have a Kodak Z760

 

ehh....u need help....read the manual. and practice here and there. looks like u need more lighting.

 

g2i !!

 

yea ive been practicing i got down the shutter speed down now im trying to mess with more settings but it does make a big difference when u slow down the shutter speed.... o question i dont use the flash when i slow the shutter speed down or should i use flash?

 

car looks good, just need some better pictures.

 

yea i got some new ones today ill post some in a little

 

dont use the flash when slowing the shutter speed

itll take trial and error to get it right

 

way, way, way too dark

day shots
