Lifetime Members 10,282 Member For: 21y 8m 2d Gender: Male Location: Victoria Posted 05/12/11 11:18 AM Share Posted 05/12/11 11:18 AM yeh realised today its probably cos the ISO was at 6400 for those shots. yeh got lightroom yesterday but its a bit harder to get the head around than photoshop..Lightroom is pretty much all I use. I love it. I rarely use Photoshop. I enjoy taking photos. I can't stand editing!Shy do you have a tripod and remote?Ultimately the ISO killed you, I rarely if ever leave mine on auto at night.Why the large aperture?Tripod is a must. You can get by without a remote. Just use the 2 second timer so the shutter fires after you push the button.Where was the aperture mentioned? Large apertures are the low numbers, such as f/2.8 etc and the small apertures are the high numbers, such as f/22.and no never ever use a flash worst.Flash can be used very effectively. ON camera flash is considered bad, but off camera flash can give amazing results. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Nothing that camera will do will fix that.Street lights or car park lights are never going to give you the quality of light you need for the shot to look good. Remember, it's about the quality of the light. Not the quantity of the light.Daylight photography is a good place to start learning and experimenting.
