This is useful when you’re shooting in different lighting situations - particularly when there’s low light and you might not be able to use a flash (you’d bump up your ISO setting in this case).

The only cost of increasing ISO is that as you do it you’ll notice that the ‘noise’ or ‘grain’ in your shots also begins to increase.

You probably won’t notice this graininess on your images when lookin at them on the LCD on your camera - however when you get them back to your computer they’ll become noticeable with higher ISO settings.

Digital Photography school ;-)

That is a great explaination, Thanks!....

So, can I use a lower ISO setting and also lower the shutter speed to lengthen the time the shutter is open to get less noise and more light for night shots?

Thanks!

When I was first considering the gold wheels with Twilight Blue I posted up a feeler thread and it was kinda interesting that more people said not to do it because it would not look good and that I should be safe and get Mercury Silver... Well, I am glad I went against the norm and got the gold!

Your car is just incredible looking. The cf fenders really made a big difference and they pulled the whole look together perfectly!

I was going to ask if that was a real m3 but someone already pointed it out lol. I saw a 3 series with those same fenders at an auction recently.

As far as your photography skills go, they could use some work. A tripod will help the most as Digital cameras are a lot more sensitive to movement, and if you pick up a book on the various settings and how to do basic photography you will be in good shape.

Again, sexy car dude. If I were you I would pay a pro to do a really extensive shoot because your car deserves it!

I like the first shot. The red light at the back of the car and the blue light at the front, then the purple colour (the look of the colour of your car) makes it a great shot

If you google "Nikon D40 Cheat Sheet" it should up some pages that sell the "cheat sheets" and they tell you different settings to use on different shoots.
