well, last night a friend and i went to take some pics of my car at a local elementary school. i parked the car at the top of a little hill/crest thing. this is pretty much my first time doing "nice" pics of my car.. and im still learning what the settings on my camera do (iso, exposure time, aperture). i only used a simple canon powershot a70. my dad, who is a photography buff, said i used too high of an iso so my pictures came out grainy. he's gonna go out with me another night to use his really nice camera to do some better pictures. but for now, here are the best ones from last night

Good work. I like the one with the red tail lights.

Well, longer exposure with lower ISOs than you used might work, but there's camera limits in general so if you want to do real long exposures or use the higher ISOs you'll need a better camera (sorry).

BUT - you can use software like ACDsee or Photoshop to remove noise somewhat effectively.

Here's an example of one of your pics run through a noise removal filter:

It's so much easier to find good angles w/ Gran Turismo 4 LOL... then apply to real life :woot:
