First pics with the SLR

[Jat_172cup]

Just a few pics I took when I was trying to work out how to use the camera. Taken with a Canon 300. Excuse the last pic, it was taken from behind a window.

By the way, any tips on taking pics in the dark, without getting a blurry picture would help!

Enjoy,

[Riad]

[Jat_172cup]

Using a Canon Eos 300d mate, just something simple, its my first slr camera, but im really happy with it. Still learning how to use it propley yet though lol.

If you dont want the pics to blur you can use a faster shutter speed and a flash or you need a tripod, unless the photographers on here have any better advice heh. Nice pics, the car looks lovely too.

Ah ok, is that what that does lol. Ill take some more later and change the settings! Good advice though, and yeah I want a tripod. Might treat myself for christmas

Faster shutter speed won't work with them, needs a Tripod. Not bad for a first effort.

Same camera as me, good first shots

No mate, mostly from around Cannock!

As said, first shots are great

Just play with the settings and have a browse through the tips & threads in the Photography section on here - lots to learn & pick up now

You can crank up the ISO rating (light sensitivity) which will allow for faster shutter speeds but will introduce increased graining. Not usually what you want but can used to good effect.

As said, tripods are your way forward and Manfrotto are usually the first make to be recommended. Bloody good kit. A bean bag tripod/resty thing is always nice to have, as is a gorilla grip.

I would also say that second hand is always something to consider. Don't be afraid of a bloody good bargain.

Not bad, I so want a DSLR.

Get a tripod for christmas so you can increase the shutter speed to 1" plus.

If you can't get a tripod, crank the ISO up to max (prob 1600) and try and hold it still at around 1/10 - 1/15 sec (this will sacrifice some image quality in the form of noise but at least it won't be as blurry).

Don't use flash as it looks unnatural and your tail lights will reflect in the photos.

As advice goes, that aint great.

just look at how the bumper sits under the headlights 1's lower than the other!

u can see it at the passenger side front arch also.

tell me if im wrong??

 

[jayxx83]

not bad effort, I am still getting used to my 350d after having it for a couple of years. Like the night shots of the Red R27. How do you get them to look so clear. My night ones always have a redissh tinge to it.
