Night Photography

Rock Bottom Brewery, Old Market - Omaha Nebraska
1 second shutter speed, ISO80

A lot of people ask me what type of camera I have, after looking at some of my photos. It turns out that I have a point and shoot, Canon SD1000. It just so happens that I have exploited all of its manual features in order to take some stunning photos. I want to prove to people out there that you don't need a fancy SLR to take great pictures. In fact, some people with fancy SLR cameras take some horrible pictures. It's not very nice to say but it can be true sometimes. The only draw back to point and shoot is that I can't print anything bigger than 11x14 with my current camera. Oh well.

  1. Nice shot, I like how the bright isn't too bright. I always get that when I leave the shutter speed on too long. Is there a setting where it caps how bright it'll be even if the shutter speed is left on too long?

  2. Not really, the only way is to make the shutter a bit faster. You should be able to adjust shutter timing.
