Manual is always good, but an easy way to get some pretty crisp image quality is to put it aperture priority mode and set the f stop to f/8, f/10, etc. That tends to be the "sweet spot" with most lenses in terms of overall image quality, and it gives you great depth of field. That obviously isn't a very big aperture, so you'll want to keep using that tripod unless you have some very good light.

What camera are you working with?

 

It is a Nikon D70S.

Do you know how to set it to aperature priority? I will give it another shot tomorrow if i learn how to do that haha

 

On the top left there should be a dial with " A P S M " and such.

A= aperture priority
P= programmed auto
S= shutter speed priority
M= manual (obviously)

 

Holy moly, learn somthing new every day. i will try it tomorrow and see how it comes out.

Anything specific with lenses? My dad has like, 5. Anything i should look for on them? Im also going to upload them into my other comp and try photoshopping them.

 

With Nikon, anything with a gold ring is gold ring around it is pretty high quality. Something fairly wide angle in the focal length department is usually pretty good for cars and lenses with a maximum apertures of f/2.8 and such tend to be high quality, although you don't have to use the f/2.8 all the time. Good luck!

 

Janik, I thought that was an X.

Well use it my friend. Your only pics are on the pavement or the shoulder.

I took this today on a run.

 

Alright, ill look through the bag tomorrow. Thanks!

 

Lol Gee there are no places to offroad around here. The only time i have driven offroad in this was at night, in a parking lot, and didnt see it abruptly turn to grass and the next thing i knew i was out in a field.

This winter i will do deep snow excursions then take pics. It is what im going to be driving so plenty of time for fun.

 

Wow, again nice pics... Lol I go for a drive and I see um, dirt and sun... oh and a cactus or two

 

What's "rushhouse traffic?"

Thanks guys.

Rushhour traffic lol if you zoom in you will see it was all backed up.
