Photography

[Pommy]

One of my newest hobbies is photography, only started at christmas when I got my camera, my Dad's old Cannon G11, so am relatively new to it. Took some nice photo's in Aus using the shutter speed control but have had trouble in low light trying to photograph cars, went outside tonight after washing her to have a bit of a play, some turned out all right as can be seen below. Any advice is welcome, I know there are some people who are interested in photography as well so feel free to post any pics and details. Really want to improve in general so any advice would be welcome, and maybe a monthly photo comp eventually. 

 

These were taken with an ISO of 80, F2.8 and shutter speeds ranging from 1/6 to 1/3.

Those are some pretty good shots, I don't know much about taking photos... only thing I do know about low light is a slow shutter speed and a tripod (or something to sit the camera on)

Looks good mate I don't know anything about taking pictures I don't even take very good selfies ;)

Some nice shots, although I would recommend a Subaru owners club show plate to cover your number plate when taking pics. Only £6 for a set :)

Have you thought about night school photography courses?

[Pommy]

Thanks for the comments, not too fussed about the number plate really never bothered me especially as I would forget to take them off or put them on half the time. I have thought about courses but at the moment I am in uni Mon-Friday, Tennis Monday Tuesday And Wednesday evening, work Thursday evening and Saturday and Sunday so running out of time unfortunately.

For framing, instead of putting subject smack in the middle. Work with thirds, so subject is off centre. Try lowing where the camera is for a better perspective. If you want things in focus from front to back in the photo go for a higher f stop and increase your shutter speed.

Yep do what he said ;)

I meant decreased the speed. So it's open for longer.
