Any body have any advice on how to take better pics with a old pos sony cyber shot?
Click to expand...
1. tripod first and foremost
2. set iso as low as ittl go
3. play with EV values
4. use timer for night pics
5. set "program," not auto, not night portrait, etc
6. set whitebalance to what looks best for the situation. dont worry about titles of the settings, just play around with them
7. no flash. if its too dark, move to a place with more light :rolleyes:
8. watch out for other light sources like sodium street lights. they mess with the camera more than anything.

thats all ive got. lol @

thanks man it looks like I did everything wrong. I have the picture taking skills of a five year old. I'll keep practicing so I can do my car the justice it deserves.

you suppose to set the ISO higher. because the bigger the picture, the more color quality there is. but everything else 'ryan s' said is correct.

yeah the look I was going for is how it shoulda looked coming from the factory. I wanted people who dont know about cars, to ask, " so whatd you do to it?" which means that all the parts just "fit" together, and the ordinary joe cant tell its modified, but just says to himself, what car is that?

the deal behind iso is this (at least from my understanding of amateur photography and being a walgreens photo specialist :cool: ): its a catch 22. the higher the iso, the better detail nights shots have. they appear brighter. BUT, since they are denser, they have more graniness. if you set the iso low, like 60, 80, 100, your pics will come out clearer but will lose detail and will be darker.

example:
iso 100

iso 400 (sorry, not so steady hand)

notice the difference on the right side where the lights are.
i always have the iso set as low as possible, just to keep the pics quality.
