Finally got all my stuff moved in and settled for senior year and had a good first week! Went out to celebrate (legally and moderately) and on the way home had to snap a picture of the beautiful mountain sunset, gotta love it! I love the way TW looks at night in the right light



*Ninja edit for resizing*

 

I call for a resize. And mess around with your ISO more cuz it has too much noise :P

But yeah, that does look like a nice sunset.

 

Looks nice, very subtle and subdue

 

In that kind of light I don't think it matters if your car is TW or light colored =p Cool pic, but I think it'd be nicer if you got a little more detail on your car/surroundings.

 

looks sweet

iso higher or lower? (in case i try to do this)

 

ISO is the light sensitivity of the camera. The lower = bright places such as like mid day. Higher is for dimmer places, or in this case, in the evening ish or even indoors.

 

so the higher my iso, the camera is more apt to do a faster shutter speed, but have a bigger hole for light (measured in 'f'?)

sorry for the thread jack

 

You want your ISO as low as possible to lower the image noise (grainnes).

You might have to have the cam on the tripod though.

 

ISO and aperture (f) are two different measurements. The higher the ISO #, the more sensitive your chip is to the light hitting it - comes with a price, though.....noise being the heavest price.

Aperture is the eye...very much like our pupils....it controls the amount of light that hits the sensor/chip. There's more to it than light, though. Small F stop numbers = larger opening = more light, but also less depth of field (the blurred background in pictures is acheived with large aperture openings). Smaller openings, higher f stop #s, results in less light, but greater depth of field.

These are basic explanations, but just wanted to clarify...
