Default A couple night shots from downtown Portland....

Was downtown last night at this location checking some stuff out and the buildings just looked cool so I broke out the camera real quick.



Then stepped back and shot a couple with the cars. Now that I have shot there and see my mistakes I really want to go back and try it again with a few different settings and such.



I might have overdone the post processing in this one but wanted to see what it would look like with the huge contrast.

those are awesome pics, but for some reason they seem really grainy, maybe your ISO was set too high?

Started life as a bone stock Accord wagon. We have since shaved most of everything, still have lots to do but when you do it right it takes time.

Dropped on coilovers right now but the air ride is sitting in the shop waiting to go on.

18" Alba's for right now.

It belongs to a good friend who is a minitrucker at heart who just happens to have a Honda for a daily. Its funny how importers are so closed minded when they see it yet minitruckers and guys in to true custom work can appreciate the work in progress.

I don't remember what exactly it stands for. Industry standard something or other. It has to do with the speed in which film reacts to light. The higher the ISO on film, the faster it will capture an image but it will generally be grainy where as lower ISO is sharper and more saturated in color. Most point and shoot cameras recomend 400 or up cause they are cheap and have no settings where as most pro photographers use 100 or 200 in general. When I shoot film I use 200 cause I don't use a tripod often but for pro style shoots I use 100 or 160.

ISO is a setting on digital cameras that is supposed to replicate the different effects that different ISO's produce on film. In general they are pretty close but that is still one setting that sets digital from film.

And thank you everyone for the compliments.

ISO is the sensitivity of the CCD.

Film have ASA/ISO ratings. Generally, what they're measuring is the sensivity to light.

On some digital point and shoots and almost all digital SLR cameras, ISO settings can be adjusted manually. In a low light condition where your aperature is not large enough, you may adjust the ISO accordingly to accomodate for the lack of light. The inherent side effect is the grainy images that it produces. In general a higher ISO allows for faster speed capturing and a lower ISO is used for most still images. I always shoot in ISO 100. In broad daylight I never shoot anything higher than ISO 100. In fact even in the dark, I set my camera on a tripod and use the timer.

Yeah, what he said.

I try to shoot everything I can in lower ISO. I'm slowly learning all the technical aspects of photography and going past the limits of my digicam. Hence the reason a Canon 300d is going to be one of my next purchases.
