Try increasing the resolution on the camera to its highest (or much higher). Basically photoshop cannot add information that is not there to start which is why starting from hi res is important. Even if you take a low res pic and increase the resolution in PS all you're doing is splitting pixels and making it fuzzy. Don't get me wrong the pics are a good effort but if you really want a nice one go somewhere with some character where you might not see a car (e.g. not along a curb under a lamp post). __________________

use a propper camera, otherwise i think the idea behind them is good
(is there a picture competition for a ti calender? ) __________________

I agree with the majority, picture quality is unacceptable for a calendar in my opinion. Shoot with a proper DSLR or digi. cam with the appropriate adjustments. And I also agree that a tripod is a MUST for night shots. There is no way around it. Here's a shot I took of the summer ride the other night with my Canon XTi. I hope to get a few of the 318 downtown now that I made the move to MPLS.  | | | | | 09-19-2007, 10:22 PM | #15 | | Senior Member Join Date: Nov 2006 Location: Land of the Vikings Posts: 2,700 |
