Photo Shoot!!

Had some free time today to snap some pics of my 8 in the parking garage. I tried to do it nicely, but I think they came out a little blury. The main problem was when the flash went on, the pic came out too dark. So I had to go no flash, and then for some reason I lost my image stablization, so it came out blury! Oh well, I still think they look good!
Thanks for checkin it out










Dave

As Missy said..... you need a tripod. The car looks good, and the setting is great......but the pictures are horrible.

theres not enough light in the area for your image stabilizer to work


its best if you use a tripod and use the 2 second timer feature and step back

you don't have to spend a boat load on a tripod a 10 dollar one will do the trick but don't blame me if it falls over when a light gust of wind blows...


an example:

What kind of phone/camera Dave? I can't imagine you shake that much! Gotta be the camera. Looks like a great place to go back and have a do-over with another camera...and maybe a tripod.

Yeah and the sad part is those were the least blury ones! They didn't look that blury on the screen on the cam.
It's a Canon PowerShot. I liked the orange haze from the lights, but when I had the flash on it all went dark and I lost the orange glow.
Oh well, I tried....

Set your ISO speed manually to the highest (fastest) speed this should help alot if you do not have a tripod.

setting ISO too high will result in having "noises" in the pic.

Yeah, get a tripod or set the camera down on something stable and set the timer.

White balance is wayyyyyy off, you could add any orange you lost by correcting WB in photoshop. And a tripod (or even a monopod) is not a huge investment.
