You gotta lower your ISO and open your apeture. - Dr.Vermin Oct 31, 00:42 1
- it's cool taking those moon shots at night on a long exposure - lkf Oct 31, 07:01
wellllll... are you using a flash? a tripod? -- nm - Reagen Oct 30, 23:21 9
- well, it was sort of a flash mob that would have knocked a tripod over - does that count? -- nm - Beryllium ... NEW ZOMBIE! Oct 30, 23:54 8
  - how do you set the camera up? on P or manual? what is your 'film' speed or ISO? - zeitgeistwillkickthoseghostbusters@$$e$ Oct 31, 00:07 7
    - It was knocking the shutter back to 1/4-second ... way too slow to prevent blur when holding by hand. Ah well. -- nm - Beryllium ... NEW ZOMBIE! Oct 31, 00:09 6
      - rule of thumb for us old school shooters, don't handhold slower than your focal length - zeitgeist Oct 31, 00:21 5
        
        I was photographing at night, surrounded by police and olympic security and TV cameras and bystanders ... not ideal conditions. And it was raining. -- nm - Beryllium ... NEW ZOMBIE! Oct 31, 00:28 4
        
        you'd never make it as a paparrazi if you let those minor distractions bother you - zeitgeist Oct 31, 00:40 3
        
        the built in flashes on those automatics don't extend very far -- nm - lkf Oct 31, 07:09
