Hey, I just got My D90 and i've been messing around with it. Day time shot's i'm doing fine with, but at night and certain low light conditions i'm having trouble with the pictures coming out. I've experimented with the ISO and exposure, but to no avail...any advice for a DSLR N00B?

 

^^ welcome! what kind of low light problem are you having? blurry pic? underexposed pic? one tip to remember, if you are shooting at low light, but dont want to turn up the ISO, you can prolong the exposure, and open up your aperture to let more light in. down side with long exposure is, it tends to come out blurry if you dont put it on a tripod or dont hold it steady enough for the shutter to close... with turning up the ISO, the pic can have graininess on it. the way i do it, i just set my ISO from 200 - 800 on low light and then compensate it with longer exposure and its on tripod and have it on a timer. of course this will be on the M mode. play around with it and you'll get it in no time. post some pics too!

 

some more practice shots

 

^^^Vista FAIL! lol.

 

LOL WINDOWS VISTA!

With all the photoshopping you do, I'm actually shocked to see you use Vista.

 

I haven't had problems using photoshop on Vista. Its running Premiere where there are problems. Thank god for Macs to do video LOL

 

Shut UP TINA!

 

I used to think CS3 ran fine on Windows. Then I used it on OSX. My opinion dramatically changed.

 

cs3 works fine on vista for me!

 

LOL! I have no room to talk - I'm running Vista on my desktop at home, but that's cuz I bought the comp on sale for $449 & that's what it came with.

 

i got my lap top for 1200 and it was on there, i tried installign vista on my desktop and it totally ruined it, i had to get thte recovery disks and all to fix it.

 

^ I got my laptop for $350 & it came with XP. God Bless America.

 

I got my laptop for $0 and it came with XP. I think someone would have to pay me to use Vista.

 

what kind of lap top?

 

well vista is running smoothly on mine, i guess since it came with it or whatever, I have hardly used my lap top in about 9 months, it's mostly for school, i use my desktop all the time with XP

 

The new MacBook Pro is where everything is at. I dont think I could ever go back to using a windows for a daily use computer.

 

iPod's FTMFW!

 

not with my dslr, but ipod FTMFW x2

 

Bah all you complaining about vista. Windows 7 is almost the same as Vista so all those who are hyping about 7 being better and easier to use better switch to OSX

Anyways, I haven't had any problems with Vista so I guess I'm one of the few people who like it.

edit: Jon that's a nice shot haha

 

cool shots john. i paid 1500 for my original nonglossy MBP... sorry everyone else was doing it.. haha
