Taken with a point and shoot in Chicago.

No photoshop, only added the border.

I want a SLR!

Just had a look through this thread and some top picks.
I took this last week when I was in Portsmouth with my HTC phone and thought it came out very well (for me).

No idea why the colours are like they are as I'm not into photography at all (apart from the fact it's not the best cam phone). This is a shot I took a second before it which would have been good if I got it all in shot lol.

I actually really like the first one of those! Like how the background feels kinda faded and the people are silhouetted. Strange about the colour cast like you say though.

Few I took this week

i got my camera yesterday and what with the weather and trying to finish an open uni course i've not had a lot of time to play with it. these are my 2 fav ones so far.

I like the river of lights affects on M'Ways. I have a D40, and when i put slow shutter speed on its just comes out with a very white picture. What settings would you recommend for light effects?

 

[Luke.]

are you shooting in the day or night???

 

[Ste666]

Got this early one morning back when i could still get up early on a weekend!

 

[Andy.]

It was definitely worth getting up early for! Lovely shot.

 

[Jason_E]

are you shooting in the day or night???

Night. Using M mode, turning shutter speed way down usually leaves me with a lot of white light?

 

[Luke.]

try using S mode and i usually do between 5-10 second exposure which would come up 5" on the camera see how you get on!

 

[Nik.g]

Be aware of the ISO as well mate. Make sure its kept at a low number. And check your exposure as well. As for shutter speed like Luke said, its around 5-10seconds depending on how dark the place is.

Not worthy of their own thread, but gives this a bump..

 

[Perrinho]

I like the first one, but the second is out of focus...:rasp:

Jason, I dont have a nikon but i assume its the same as canon, you need to adjust the aperture to suit the exposure, long exposure with a wide aperture will result in white...

Geordie how long do you wait for pics of Kingfishers?

Depends, Today i was outside for 8 hours but I was after other stuff too he just happened to turn up and I couldn't resist!

In the summer i spent 11 hours waiting for this shot:
