First try...

Hello all,

I've recently started to actually learn how to take quality pictures. I don't own my own camera besides my point and shoot. but I can borrow one from the local university. These were taken using a Sony Powershot (yes, nothing more than a supped up point and shoot, but at least I can control the aperture, iso, and shutter speed)

Feel free to be brutal, I didn't do any post processing on these, except to crop the flowers.

Any comments and feedback is welcome!

good shots. I like them quite a lot. but it looks like your getting a lot of noise. what iso are you using

[johnStock]

I had noticed that noise, any recommendations on what iso, f-stop, and exposure times would have been better to shoot at? These were taken from 7-8 at night.

The blue flower was shot at:
ISO-80
f/3.2
exposure 1/30

The yellow flowers where shot at:
ISO-800
f/5
exposure 1/125

The sunset pictures were shot at:
ISO-400
f/7.1
exposure 1/100

I'll be the first to admit those are probably way off from what I should of been shooting at

Thanks for the comment,
John
