[QUOTE="huck, post: 133849, member: 13634"] Hey guys, I'm new on this forum. Just wanted to say nice write up, and great shots! Thanks for all the info, this coincides with things that I've been learning on my own lately. I got a D5100 for my wife for Christmas, but she has no desire to learn how to use it herself so I'm teaching her as I learn since this is my first real camera as well :) One question: I've been lead to believe that for night shots (at least for the automotive kind, which is what I'm mostly doing) you should try to keep the ISP at no more than 300-400, and I've been shooting at 100 lately, stock 18-55 lens at 25-30 seconds and it's coming out nice and bright. When I did try a higher ISO, like anything over 1000, it came out very grainy and noisy. Am I doing something different than you guys that I'm not catching? I turned of VR and I'm using auto-focus (mostly successful). Photobucket is compressing the crap out of my pics and making them look horrible, but here is an example of what I'm talking about with a shot of my car.
