Thanks to Nick I now know how to take long(er)-exposure images with my camera. Better night pics to come one of these days…
Hah.
I got bored and decided to attempt to take a few new pictures of my car. My only camera at the moment is a Canon Powershot A560… I bought it years ago and somehow managed not to break it over the course of time. Anyway, here’s a few pictures I took tonight. I know they’re not HDR or high-resolution DSLR pictures or anything close to that, but I figured I would share what I have:
OTHER PICTURES REMOVED DUE TO JIM P. HE SIMPLY DOES NOT LIKE THEM.
I used photoshop to brighten up the images as best as I could without making them appear grainy or distorted.
Nick, what ISO should I be shooting at for night pictures? I used my tripod and timer to eliminate shake, but I am unsure about the ISO and exposure settings. I think I used like ISO 80 now that I think of it, and thats too low… but I know too high of an ISO and the picture will come out grainy.
With the tripod you would want the ISO as low as the camera will go and you should shoot in manual (of there is an option). Then make the exposure time longer.
Yep, that’s what I did. ISO 80, shooting in manual mode.
The problem is with my camera there is no way to adjust the exposure time. :banghead Which is why the camera didn’t capture as much light as it could have.
