My camera (Fujifilm F30) has a nightshot scenery mode that allow me to crank the exposure time up to 15 seconds. However I can't control the aperture size at all, which is left wide open. All the shots I have taken with over 10 seconds of exposure time were overexposed, even at the lowest ISO setting (100). There is an aperture priority mode on the camera, but I am limited to a 1/4s exposure time only.LaFoto said:one tip for the future (and you DO NEED THAT TRIPOD for that!): use a SMALLER aperture (that is: higher f-number) and a LONGER exposure and the light sources (streetlights etc.) will become more like little stars and less like light blobs. Try it. You'll be surprised .
The original picture is actuall very dull and very grainy (noise) due to the high ISO setting used (3200). I just desatured the picture, cranked up the contrast and applied a sharpen filter. Voila!gizmo2071 said:Personally.
I dig the second one. Has a nice sense of atmosphere. I'm guessing you textured it or something?

Well, you do need both. The more pictures I took with the Fuji, the more I realized how limited I was with what I could do. But at the same time, I like the simplicity of p&s because you don't have to worry about toying with other settings.Alex_B said:I totally agree on it being a remarkable camera.
Sometimes, in simple photographic standard situations P&S iamges are not that different from an (D)SLR ... and then I really wonder why I brought all my heavy equipment with me
Also I am thinking of maybe buying a P&S myself to have it on me and ready 24 hrs a day ... you miss so many chances for good pictures because you cannot have an SLR with you all the time ...
I would not give up on my SLR and DSLR though ... just when it is not with me a P&S might be good
Primarily because of the interchangeable lenses.deanx0r said:I wish Fuji could come up with a wide angle p&s that support optical image stabilizer like Panasonic LX1. That camera associated with the Fuji sensor would be the ultimate p&s ^^ who would need a DSLR if there was such a camera
That would be overcome with experience.deanx0r said:I was able to toy around with my friend's Canon Rebel --and maybe it was because I wasn't the familiar with the camera-- but taking pictures while trying to have a certain range of control over them resulted in more time fiddling with the camera than actually taking pictures.
In a (D)SLR there is a mirror in the way. You can either have a view through the lens, or a preview LCD, but not both (for a reasonable cost).deanx0r said:I am also having a hard time getting used to use DSLR viewfinders... Why can't they have live preview? that beats me... it would make life so much easier when taking pictures in very odd angles like with the camera way low to the ground or way above you.
