First photoshoot ever, and with my new camera!

[Swifty1638]

I had the shutter open for around 1 second on most, some 2 seconds (didn't post those) and then a few sub-second shots. I found that with the lighting, about 1-2 seconds allowed the camera to suck in what little light existed at the time (hence why the sky looked blue with Kate's car, and not black as night, when we went out to take the photos)

What kind of camera? It looks to me like you need a little work on the comp, www.thephotoforum.com has a lot of really knowledgable members that can help you on specifics.

So far so good, dude. You absolutely need a tripod for low light pictures, there is no way around that. Post processing (Photoshop, etc.) is where your pictures truly shine, and once you're interested/serious in that you will want to start saving your pictures in raw format.

Some nice photos there. Low light is hard to take with out the camera moving.

As for Raw Format. All Digital SLR do the raw format. But I never seen non-SLR save in that format. I have a Cannon A630 nice camera. Takes some great photos. What did you pick up?

I ended up getting a Canon Rebel XT.

They did turn out well, I will have to give you back the tripod for this weekend so we can try it again. But there is a good DoF on a few of them and the motion ones are very good for not having a tripod, but this week you can get better ones...downtown?
