MaTBoY Posted February 27, 2011 Share Posted February 27, 2011 i think you need to manual focus on what you're trying to show, i don't think either of them are focused on anything in particular. Perhaps it's how they look after being resized?

89CAL Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 I always shoot in full manual First time shooting at night with my prime lense. Had some issues with focus but these two seemed ok. Might be how they are resized like you said. The lense is pretty sensitive to what is in and out of focus but so I may have been just a bit off Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/352469-february-2011-photo-thread/page/9/#findComment-5691345 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jay019 Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) I always shoot in full manual First time shooting at night with my prime lense. Had some issues with focus but these two seemed ok. Might be how they are resized like you said. The lense is pretty sensitive to what is in and out of focus but so I may have been just a bit off the second one is in focus, the focus point is the rear windscreen tho. with the first one turn the car wheels so the face of the rim is facing the camera instead of the tyre its not as in focus either. maybe try stopping the lens down a bit more too as 1.8 open wide isnt always that great for car shots as the DOF is a bit too small except for detail shots. still pretty cool though, wish i wasnt so lazy keen as to do night photos but never have the motivation to get out there and do it, lol.

89CAL Posted February 28, 2011 Share Posted February 28, 2011 (edited) Ah ok, Maybe thats my problem Last time I took car shots at night they had alot of noise and I realised afterwards I had my ISO right up (whoops). So the photos looked alright on the little camera screen but as soon as they went on a laptop there was far to much noise in them. Beginner mistake, something I should have relised but oh well... I Think thats why I was overcompansating with the lowest ISO I could use and adjusting the apature right down So I wouldnt have to drop the shutter speed (If I'm further off doing the right thing then I relise here I'm happy to take some constructive critisism, ISO was at about 400, Apature at 1.8 and shutter speed was between 1/20 and 1/40 or around abouts. Like I said but I overcompansated with the ISO cause of last time) Ill put another 2 photos from the night up. The Lighting in the Skyline one isnt right, but Its a bit better focused. The one of the monaro I think suffers from the same issues as the above photos but not as bad (now that you guys bought it to my attention lol...) Like I said I'm open to critisism, I dont mind these photos but I know there a long long way from alot of you guys in here. But I'm willing to learn and try out different shooting methods. I like to think I'm slowly improving lol Thanks P.S. That first photo of my car where you said the wheels are facing the wrong way..... I was parked Illegally in the middle of a road so just ran out to grab a photo before anyone came haha. Should have thought about the angle of the wheels in alot of these photos but I was being pretty lazy on the night Edited February 28, 2011 by 89CAL Link to comment https://www.sau.com.au/forums/topic/352469-february-2011-photo-thread/page/9/#findComment-5692025 Share on other sites More sharing options...
