Nice, had an M?

We have a photo forum, or is that only for e90s? The pictures are nice, but you could get a lot more out of that camera. Try a longer exposure.
Do you have Photoshop? Literally 30 seconds on one of those images will improve it immensely.

Thanks, but I was using my SD400. Pretty good pictures from a point and shoot.

My friends were using their DSLRs

Sound Of Speed, hey look I'm sorry...that was completely wrong of me. I was just really confused by the thread, and maybe I'm a little over-tired. I'm not a jerk, I swear! Sorry for the rought start and I hope you feel welcome here. Welcome to the forum.

Oh yes I know.

2100 M Coupes made for USA. 900 Z3 Coupes.

E90? Possibly... it'll go great with a turbo Z Coupe........

No problem man, I'm not taking anything serious in the other thread, it was just for fun.

Good to meet you.

Oh well it says "Pics from a Canon 20D:" so maybe you were talking about the pictures above it. Here is a little extra editing. Just because I'm bored.

Enroutte · 02-08-2006, 12:59 AM

That camera is a little different than mine. My only rules I use are:
daytime: no flash, iso 50, tripod
nighttime: no flash, iso 50 or iso 100, tripod, shutter between 1"-15" depending on lighting. 1" if there is sufficient lighting (bright street lamps) and 15" if there is almost no lighting around.

Here is a great review of the camera that shows you about all of its settings and features:
