it looks a little blurred... maybe shaking a little?.. Modified by huntenrabbit at 10:35 AM 4-22-2008

I actually was thinking that too. Because there is no real 'clear' sharp focal (sp) point in the picture. If you look at the need/and head - it still doesn't look at clear as it could be. .

-->happy someone agrees. *high five* Great Photographers help eachother out.

You know what.. I think would be sweet!! If you cut them into strips and then did every other one male-female-male-female.. Til the picture is completed. That'd be so super awesome!!!

^ nice

heres my contribution for the day

[huntenrabbit]

^ hmmmmm

ISO, way too high, and it looks to me that the table is in better focus than the shoe. little cc for ya, although i suck so take my words as a grain of sand

its 1 am here, equals a new day!

took this with this 50mm i got off a drug dealer
only it wouldnt work for the longest time, cause it doesnt have an aperture lock, (its really old) just figured out today how to get it to work on my camera.

[lisptier]

ya i was wondering about ISOs today. The higher the grainier? Or vice versa?

the way i understand it, someone that knows can chime in...., is you want higher for lower light, but i really dont see a point in going over say 800. in that pic i would have set it on 200. so more light lower ISO. but yeah all i ever get is crap after 800. hope that helps

ya i usually stick to 800 and 400, but i didnt know about the whole light thing. THanks.

try to shoot as low as possible when taking pictures. all you have to do is slow your shutter speed to get the light. if it is a moving object then you may have to bump the iso up tho. in the shoe picture you can use a tripod and wouldnt have to sacrifice quality at all...

Yes it's true the higher the ISO, the grainier your picture will be but there's really no need to switch your ISO settings unless you've just finished shooting pictures of a brick on a windless day (no movement) and now you want to go shoot that same brick flying through a window at midnight (high speed - low light). Higher ISO will generate "noise" which is that grainy look but you can often, with noise reduction software, eliminate much of the noise during image processing.

Most of the time I just leave my camera on the lowest ISO setting which, for me, is 100. I have a shoot coming up where I'll be shooting a band during a dim lit show so I plan to crank my ISO up to about 600-800 depending on the amount of light alloted.

In this picture- you have a lot of 'grain'. Which is either caused my improper magification or ISO (override) settings. What I would recommend is you go back and re-shoot with different ISO settings. Try a lower ISO number.. Lower ISO = less noise/grain. If you shot at 400- I'd recommend cutting it to 200. Get the picture clear- and change the shutter speed to either FREEZE frame or Blur motion. - Please don't be offended. We're all here to help one another.

Thanks for the input. I'm pretty sure I can't change the shutter speed on my camera. It is just a small P+S. Here is the same shot with my crappy tripod and a little more light.

And my photo from yesterday.
