[QUOTE="torgo, post: 5679, member: 909"] [FONT="Georgia"]Like Eduard and Joseph already said, more info would help diagnosis. But, here's my guess. You say you're shooting in shutter priority mode. Your long exposure one turned out fine, because you had enough time on the exposure to offset the low light; shutter speed and aperture have a reciprocal relationship, so to decrease the amount of time the shutter lets light in, you need to increase the aperture by the same number of stops.When you shorted the exposure time, your camera attempted to compensate and give you correct exposure, but you can only open a lens up so far. Because you essentially "ran out" of aperture, you end up with an underexposed image. There's three solutions to this. More light, not as short of a shutter speed, or increase your ISO setting. Since it sounds like the shutter speed is dictated by your assignment, you'll need more light or a higher ISO. You'll probably have better luck doing this during the day where you can go outside and let the sun do the dirty work, but raising the ISO inside might pull it off, as long as you don't mind some noise in the image. Now we'll wait for samples and see if I'm way off base or not. :)[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
