sorry to hi jack again i just thought this might look nice loving this pic

 

Night shots require a lot of adjustments to shutter speed, ISO, and white balance. I would recommend getting more comfortable with the camera side of things before you try to post process. The old saying is "you can't polish a turd." Photoshop and programs like it do not churn out fantastic photos from crap exposures. They make great exposures just a little better

 

Thank omarrakeen, Yeah the florescent lights were ******* with me and I didn't change the settings. That picture looks killer

 

sure

 

Most of those pics look too soft, not sharp enough. You need a tripod or to improve the way you hold the camera. Photography is the art of catching light. The best time of the day to get great pics is between 4:00PM to 6:00PM. For example:



Avoid such severe angles such as the one in the first pic. A bit tilting is cool such as:



or:



Look for good backgrounds:



At night with a tripod:



Keep shooting and shooting....Does your camera have full manual controls? I would recommend a book titled: "Exposure and Lighting" by Michael Meadhra and Charlotte K. Lowrie.

Here is some other shots:













Good luck man! Photography is a great hobby!

 

^ awesome pics man. i like the dog's pic and the wheel too cant wait to get my camera back

 

A lot of people hate on HDR, but I like messing around with it. These are 'fake' HDR shots, since they are only done with a single source photo.

 

Myth. A good camera can do wonders if you know how to use it. If you think you will buy a good camera and because of that your pics will be great...think again.

 

I agree! I have a buddy that assumed that moving from his point and shoot to a 5DMkII would automatically give him the ability to capture amazing artistic photographs... He was sadly mistaken. Run of the mill snapshots all the same regardless if they are taken with a cell phone or a Hasselblad H4D.

 

Agreed, as much as I would like a DSLR, I still can't fully utilize my Minolta long zoom camera:



But I have on occasion managed to get some really nice shots from it.
