Thanks a lot for the reply, sid. Yes I can get more pictures we have meets like this all the time. When I can I will go up there and shoot some more.

Same and thanks. But on another note you can use the Exposure and flash compensation that is built into most cameras. Look for that before you go and lose your DoF. Take that advise from me and Zennon and run, it will help you out with night shots a whole lot. Also, you might not notice Noise with your camera on ISO levels that are high but once you start doing post processing on them you will bring it all to life. ISO is a trained camera man/woman's last fall upon. You can adjust so much more... white levels, exposure, aperture, exposure comp, flash comp. The last thing you fall on is ISO in my book. =) Hope that helps Same. The camera can judge light variables very well during the day but aperture is DoF and is user based opinion per shot. So you should look at that, and again look on the stickies etc, there are some good tutorials.

EV = Exposure Value and that is what you are talking about. TV even though here in the USA that stands for Television. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Exposure_value

You need a little more exposure and post processing on that one. You didn't get anything but the highlights on the car. You're having trouble adjusting for brights to darks. Try and equal your shot out by the EV reading on the camera compare night and point it at the car and see what the white equals and adjust for the best of both which should be in the middle of both. Does that make sense to you? EDIT Looks like you shot in Auto mode as well, you need to shoot in M (manual) mode and mess around with your EV and Aperture. There are some nice guides here on the forums in this section. As well, you should never let your camera get to 1600 ISO unless it is something you just can not capture any other way. Get grain real bad at those levels.

Yes get a CPL. It makes HUGE differences. When you stand close to the car though you can move the reflections around with it. Only when an object is farther away can you remove huge amounts of reflections.

Amazing colors Sam. Nice one with the Graffiti.

No mate, this is in Tennessee USA. =)

This is from the chain of storms that has killed a ton of people already and caused a ton of damage and injury. Took them when it passed through my area. Pretty scary shit, producing tornadoes. In the USA. The thing you see dropping down right before the lightning on the left is a cloud that was in rotation. It was gusting probably 20-35 by this time and the camera had gotten a strange amount of noise. Needless to say, this was the LAST picture of the night before I MOVED. Enjoy =)

Very interesting point of view. I think I like it.... good shot.

Just a new shot from me for today...

Love how the most redneck things in the world have USA posted all down the side of em.

You do realize that is a POINT and not a COMMA correct? Just making sure... lol I just want to make entirely sure...

That's the actual amount mate, I looked it up on XE. That way I knew what you would have to pay EXACTLY. That's it. =) Not as if you have money that works at .0893 but still.

Yes, you can ACTUALLY see what it WAS like to be ON the Titanic... http://www.titanicpigeonforge.com/ Something else amazing is... if you DO come here to see that, ever. Your tickets would cost you 22.0893 AUD per adult. Which is AMAZING.
