people here talk to much like experts not really giving a concise answer to the newbies...

to newbies it seems as if a flash ruins a picture, because a flash only captures about 10-15ft in front of you leaving the rest dark, or cutting out important features of what you're photographing in a club. The way around this is to keep the flash on for a clear image, but play around with a lower exposure setting. This gets great results when photographing people in a club, keeping a very nice balance of colours if done properly.

However, if you want to get a clear picture of a club as a whole at night, one of your only options is to wait for a key time when the lights are going crazy and fairly bright and use a quick shutter. (without flash) that way you'll see a lot of detail and it'll be clear.

here are two examples from cancun that show what i mean using the canon SD550 (remember this is a point and shoot, and with an SLR, these pics would have less noise and sharper colour, but i think it handled the situation fairly well)





edit: remember as well that 5mins in paintshop pro or photoshop can greatly improve a photo, all i did was remove some noise, and put a vivid filter on, and look how improved the next image is... (for some reason the resolution got screwed when i uploaded it, so just ignore that)

dude..the difference in the color of those pictures is crazy! and they arent even blurry or anything...thats what i need! ahhh!

I'd like to get an opinion.

Canon S5 IS vs. Nikon D40

or if you can recommend any other models of those brands within that price range.

Thanks

Anyone know a camera that can record good video sound without the bass messing everything up? I just bought the Nikon coolpix L11 but I haven't used it in a club yet so im not too sure.. anything under $200?

The Sony DSC-T200 just came out!

I can't wait to upgrade my DSC-T1. Best ever.

somebody pls explain iso and aperture to me, especially in situations for night shots and club shots. What sort of settings should I be looking at?

I bought a canon EOS 400D recently so I'm still learning.

print help

I need help with printing couple of shots.

how can I possibly print clear shots in a 3'x2' format when my camera only has 6.1 MP. I know it can be done easily on film, but how do I do this from a DSLR?

help appreciated.

Cheers.

your DSLR (most likely) is already in a 3:2 format, as far as i know they all are, are you confusing this with crop factor by any chance? what camera do you have?

I got a nikon d40 but cropping is not something in question here. I heard most people in photography shops saying that 6x8 inches is the only good size to fit a clear picture for 6 mp. Film is another story, as you're more flexible with it.

I wanna make a 2 feet x 3 feet print with out it being faded/blurred out.

WHAT THE FUCK.

DUDE....I PRINTED A 12x18 SHOT FROM MY DSLR WHICH IS 6.3MP
(with no loss in color, clarity, sharpness, anything, and could still go larger, i printed a 12x36 panaromic that i stiched together which looked amazing)

UGH ! sales people trying to upsell ppl is my biggest pet peeve, Fuck !

I'll try pushing it to 36x24, I shot raw files for the most part.
I'll see what good comes out of it.



and I agree...some sales people are fucking twits.

that might be pushing it, but RAW is a better (higher quality retaining) format, so it might also be a very good chance it'll look good as well.

where do you usually get your shots developed at? I mean for bigger than standard paper sizes.

i work at costco, and i've familiarized myself with the photo lab equipment there, so i can make any appropriate adjustments i need, we print 12x18 and 12x36 as our largest size, but possibly larger as well since we got some new machines, i'll find out for you. i usually print my larger shots in matte finsih.
