haitham87 · 06-24-2012, 07:39 AM

hey guys, enjoy these night shots of my 1er..

first try at photography, borrowed a cam from a friend..
sorry for the out of focus pics,... but i think they are not bad for a first timer

Any tips on better shots?

1er FTW!

Nice looking car, as for tips the two most obvious ones are a tripod and adobe elements

Use a larger aperture, preferably in the 1.4-2.8 range. This will allow you to increase your shutter speed and user a lower ISO and your image won't be as blurry.

If your camera doesn't allow for manual adjustments then get a tripod. That'll compensate for slight hand movements when the camera leaves the shutter open to capture more light.
