    Ok, so I went out tonight, and took some pics with my wife's Canon Powershot SD750. Here are the results. I have not done any post editing on these pics. The pic that are B&W with color selection were done on camera, not with any software. What do you think? What do you recommend to get better quality photo's.

    Adjust your shudder speed. Overall I like the color choice on B/W.

    Where is that parking area? Looks like its on the North side of the River, but I am not sure where the elevated parking would be? lol

    Its at the Embassy Suite's off of I-25 and Lomas. I'll have to check the camera and see if there is an adjustment for shutter speed. Will that take care of the grainyness?

    ISO seems a bit high (very normal for night shots) Slow that down and get a tripod and you can take some amazing night shots buddy!

    Aaaahh.. lol No wonder, the angles of the building were throwing me off. hahaha Pretty good spot for shots though. I might need to take some from there.

    Like mains said, to get rid of the Grainy look, you need to shoot with a low ISO,(bsically film speed) and shooting at night with a low ISO will require a tripod. If you really want to know the basics on how to get a good exposure, read Bryan Peterson's Understanding Exposure. The book has been out for quite awhile. There is an original edition, and a revised digital edition. You don't need the revised digital edition, unless you fell like spending more. Because the revised one and the original are basically the same book, only different pictures. And the original one can be found much cheaper.
