Any tips/comments are appreciated. I'm no expert photographer, so be nice.

 

More pics more pics! Looks good, nice car, nice 'hood

 

I don't like the picture as there is no focal point. What shutter speed did you use on that photo?

 

is yoor car teal ?
or is it really SSBP ?

 

That looks spoooooky

 

Ok, more pics in a minute...

Shutter speed... hm. I tried so many, I can't even remember. This camera has been with me since about 2pm today, so I literally am just beginning with it. And you're right.. it does lack a focal point. I think it was set to like 2 second exposure?

Yeah, it is pretty spooky.. I didn't notice that the moon was all pink-ish untill I came inside and uploaded the pictures.

Oh yeah, this is the color of my car... when it's not a pink full moon, that is...

 

strange, the car looks purple in the lighting in the first pic

 

i like the pic...spookyness

 

Looks real good... what kinda camera?

 

whooa.......i thought your ride was purple

 

btw thanks for the high-res... its my new wallpaper. By the res of the pic, im guessing 5MP camera?

 

by the looks of it, i think its a olympus c5050z

 

I like the new camera it takes one hell of a picture.

Yep, 5 megapixel. Olympus C-5050

It's my wall paper too

This one's not as good, but still pretty cool.

it appeared purple due to the color balance setting and the light coming from the halogen streetlamp.

Sharp looking ride. Keep it clean and baby it

It's actually really dirty in these two pictures, but I wanted to play with the camera... came out really well IMO.

 

I got these tips from MTK kommander and turbopanda, because they both use Canon Powershot digicams like me. These settings are great for night shots:

-at least a 10 sec shutter speed
-f8.0
-ISO=50
-a tripod is a must

You just have to play around with it. Good luck, and show us more pics!

Cool, thanks. Exactly what I was looking for... I learned the tripod thing real fast, got some pretty blurry pictures at first. Both of those pics were w/tripod. What's the other stuff mean tho? I can change the setting easily, but it helps to understand what it means so I can experiment.

Actually the streetlamp (and all streetlamps) is HID.

It's a mercury vapor HID lamp which makes it that yellowish color. The BG-33P teal color looks very blue under mercury vapor lamps. This girl at my work swears up and down my car is blue, cuz the first time she saw it was under those type of street lamps.

Other types of HID are metal halide (greenish blue, also used in street lamps and other outdoor lamps, as well as most gas stations) and the familiar xenon HID used in cars and also in sports stadiums.

 

Cool. Bump, I wanna know what all those settings mean!

 

frist pic looks great!!! WOW!!

f x.x = the aperture setting. The higher the number the more range you have with what's in focus. The lower the number, the tighter the focus region becomes, meaning if you were shooting a portrait of someone at F2.0 and focused on their neck, the eyes and whole face would be out of focus...

ISO = equals the film sensitivity setting. The lower the number, the more light is required for correct exposure (longer shutter times in Aperture Priority mode). The higher the number, the more grainy the image appears (fuzzier images). My Olympus E-10 has three manual ISO settings (80, 160, and 320 - roughly equivalent to 100, 200, and 400 speed film), I leave it on 80 for the best image 'resolution'...

I'm no expert in photography, but I know a thing or two....

P.S. - one thing you might try, since you have an Olympus 5050, is to use an external flash unit (like the awesome Olympus FL-40) with a diffuser panel and experiment with that at night too. It might shut off the street lights which would mess up the exposure though...you know how street lights and flashes of light go together...

 

cool pic.. i just moved to florda, why is the sky always bright =/ at like 3 am its still bright as hell =O wierd

 

you must have rich parents. nice neiborhood heh. nice clean teg but i'm not feeling the wheels
