We were in a Tornado Warning tonight for the 2nd night in a row...I stood outside for about an hour and took 97 pictures.

Nice shot Ryan!

Nailz, that flower is really unique. Nice job! Care to share the specs?

That's awesome! I'm dying to get a good storm shot!

Thanks, Brantley!
I know!!! I've always wanted a good lightning shot, but have never gotten one...even being born and raised here in the lightning capital. I took just under 100 pictures with 6-13 second exposures on a monopod. Next time, I'll be more prepared and use my tripod and wireless remote.

I've always wanted to do that too. I was even thinking of getting one of these, but can't justify the cost.

well guys, here's a pic or two I've taken lately :)

Nice pictures huck! I like the third sunset pic.

Yup, totally digging the Fontana shot. :)

Nice butt shot! LOL :)

What lens and specs can you give us on the shot?

Understatement.

Was doing my best to be respectful. :tiphat:

This one happened by accident, as far as the bee goes. I loved it though.

Haha, that's awesome! Nice shot Tracie :)

See the face?

Wow Tracie! That's cool as hell! What'd you shoot that with?

T3 w/stock lens. :p

so i might be selling my 5D2 to a friend soon :stirthepot:

How does everyone get these clear shots? Do I need more megapixels or something?

Correct me if I'm wrong, but I think didymus' picture was shot with a Rebel XT (8MP camera)

I would say that investing in better lenses would help. When I rented an L-lens I noticed a good improvement and I had more pics in my sets that were usable compared to the ones that I own.

yea once you own some L-glass, all you want is L's. good glass is way more important than the camera body behind it, generally speaking.

L glass stands for...?

Based on the price, I'd guess "luxury." :icon17: (I don't really know.)

Just getting a good prime lens will set you in the right direction and will change the way you take pictures.

Hey everyone!

Took some photos on saturday. Not impressed by the photos at all.

Using kit 55mm lens. Iso settings were around 6400 or more and I had a tripod..

How can I take great night pictures. Is it the lens? Is it me?

When I switched to manual, sometimes it wouldn't even let me take the picture.

Here are some shots... please critique.

More MP is not the answer. As boost says my camera is an "ancient" rebel XT released in 2005? I guess you need to clarify your question, what you mean by "clear." If you mean sharp, then recommendations for nicer glass is probably good. I always tell people to spend on glass not on the camera. (rarely does someone listen... they will often do the opposite and buy an upgraded non-entry level SLR with a kit lens).

First thing is your ISO. The pictures are rather noisy because you had the ISO so high. What mode were you shooting with?

The idea with a tripod is you set the ISO to 100, and stop the aperture down somewhat (depending on your subject), and then you can shoot long exposures without getting camera shake. So there is no reason to have ISO 6400 in general if you have a tripod. You just increase the exposure time until it is appropriate. The easiest thing would be to use aperture priority mode, set ISO manually, and go from there.

What do you mean it wouldn't let you take the picture? What camera are you using?
