Also, Photoshop Elements 8 is only $50-75, and that's all you really need. I know there's a difference between it and the full version... but I haven't figured out what the difference is yet.

 

I see that its been basically answered but here are my 2 cents from what i have learned...
The lower the ISO the less sensitive the sensor is to light...and yes higher the ISO the more grainy it will be...
Have you F/stop as low as possible..It will have your Aperature wide open allowing more light in. mine goes down to 1.7 i believe...
and last but not lease your shutter speed needs to be up. but definately get a tripod for longer exposures or itll look sh*tty.
And check you white balance...
and be sure to play with your shutter speed and Aperature to gain better picture.

 

alright took all of your advice except i havent edited these pictures yet and the results blew me away. i got a tripod and took these shots with 200 iso, 1.6 shutter speed, and aperture wide open (is that whats this is falled f stop). Thanks for the advice guys here's the pics, there's more pics so if you guys want to see more let me know and i will create a new post on the sights and sounds section. these are some shots taken outside it was 9pm. most of the shoot we did in the garage.

 

Oh. My. God.

Great work. That third pic is absolutely ****. Now post up the rest of 'em

 

i realize the second pic was bad. it started sprinkling. so these a raindrop on the lens. I'll upload the rest. I really like the third one also.

btw... flash was useless. took all the photos in the photoshoot without using flash. time to throw that thing away. lol just kidding i'll probably need them for portraits

 

That's awesome. I need to buy a tripod.

And yea, f-stop refers to aperture.

 

is there a term for shutter speed? and you should get a tripod helps a lot in night time shoots

 

uploaded more pics. check them out

I don't believe there is another word for shutter speed. Do you shoot your pictures in RAW format or JPEG?

 

I have them in jpg format.
