...to get right. Went out to try to get some kinda of decent shot of my car and gave up...the creativity just wasn't there tonight. So seeing the rave party happening over Atlanta, I stalked a nice spot and took about 200 pics...just to being you these pictures.

*Disclaimer- Not using a DSLR.

Almost...

i used to have a phone that could take like 30 pics in 30 seconds or someshit. and it was really easy to get shots of lightning!

good pictures though

The last two shots are great? What kinda P&S are you using? What kinda adjustablility does it have?

Did you really have your camera set to ISO 80?

Yeah :(

The S5 isn't a good cam for night shots, it's rather limited.

Why would you not set the ISO higher than that? That would give you more freedom with night shots

Because even at 100 there is a ton of noise...or at least that's been my expeirence so far. I've not really bothered with too much low-lighting pictures...but i'll be working on it..and that means taking any advice into consideration :goodjob:

You're doing something wrong then. (or something is wrong with your camera). What mode is the camera in when you take night shots?

Manual mode
