here's something I took with an ls443 didigtal cam - the white balance is flourescent and the exposure is 3 seconds with no flash. it was the first shot and the last :( that I used a brick to keep the camera steady - still I got about 6 or 7 decent ones from the 60 odd I took!

let me know what you think!

oh, hehe I also learnt that 400 iso made my pics grainy - I was pleased with myself for working that out :P but not so as most of my pics are 400 ISO! I did get taught it in my few lessons on the subject but hehe


:P

Okey... thats a huge pic man... :o

The pic is nice... very warm! Better/more focus on the flames would make it even better I think! But a great shot! :D

with a exposure of three seconds I would choosen a lower iso. 100 or 200 would do. It's a cool pic but maybe a bit overexposed. but this is just my very personal thought and as said before, I think it's a cool pic:)

hehe - unfortualy I have no control over the ISO setting when i change the exposure :( it's a bit pants.

Thank you for the kind comments - I'm fairly new at this, all critique is welcomed - also I've shrunk the pic as it was huge :P

Very nice!

I actually like the grain of the the higher film speed. The focus is right where I would have chosed and the exposure is tack on .

I'd like to see a wider view as well!
:cool:

why thank you everyone...

yeah it was nearly melting the platic on the camera :lol but the optical zoom is quite good on it!

The grain does seem to look weird on this camera as it's kinda compensating for what would be natural in film photography? I dunno it just seems pants!!
