OK as you know I am killer at video editing but I just bought a new sony H2 Cybershot which is a 6.0 mp. I am curious what I need to do in order to take shots like these? Obviously the one is photoshoped because of the color.
But what tips do you have that you use to take close up shots and then killer night and day shots?


How is the one picture of the trans am blurred all around?

i dont know about your camera per say, but most cameras i have used have a setting to adjust the focal point, or how close the subject is. Just set the focal point to close or have it set to have the subject close. you may have to toy around with the camera and find the adjustments, but im sure if its a new camera youll have that option.

and most of those "high quality" shots are taken with special lenses that cost gobs of money.

I have the same Camera. It does pretty good for what it is, I keep mine on VIVID color and always use manual settings to get the shot I want. I can post a few pics if you want to see what I can get out of it.

Give this a read. I found it pretty helpful in taking good shots.

Could you that would be great!

When you put it on manual what does it do?

Really I don't know about the technical stuff to explain what it does but I use it, maybe someone can help explain that for you. lol. I just practice a lot on my model cars and just about anything I can find to take pics of. Heres a couple of pics.

Depth of field has to do with your focal length and aperture. the bigger the aperture the less DOF you will have(blurring the back/foreground out)

I took this the other day with a CASIO EX-S600 with manual settings, not bad for just a point and shoot. If you want a good camera with A LOT of manual settings to play around with then look at the CANON A640 very nice quality pics with more than you need manual controls with a good price.

That is shot with a long lens and a large aperture. Not a common shot for a point and shoot.

Most likely was taken with a dSLR.
