The resolution is not befitting of the pictures...for instance, the second picture looks kinda "meh" at full size, but when FF scaled it (to 42% of its original size), it looked awesome. That said, I only really liked the second one. :|

Yea, the second one is good from far away, but for some reason, my camera gets grainy when you zoom on the pictures. I think it's a setting somewhere.
Thanks :D

Pretty good. I like the sky in the first one.
Storms are my friend.

Third one ftw.

I like the detail I can see in the third; the first seems like two colours ;)

But yes, you camera is like mine >_> it takes slightly blurry pictures at times, and is always fuzzy at 100% :)

I don't know what the first one is, the second one, I don't know how to change, and the third, no, I adjust it manually. >_<

Er, isn't that just the lens?

Regardless, as far as you're concerned, high ISO = brighter image, more noise. Low ISO = darker image, little to no noise. If it's really dark and you don't have a flash, you basically have to use a high ISO, especially if your shot involves moving objects and a tripod is useless. If it's bright out, only a low ISO is necessary. There should be a button on your camera that maybe mentions ISO, otherwise consult your manual. I'd look up your camera but as far as I can tell, you just described your lens, not the camera itself.

Exposure, or shutter speed is usually controlled by a knob on your camera. As it being probably the most used control on the camera for a manual user, it'd be something fairly obvious. It'd range from probably "bulb" (shutter open as long as you hold down the button), or maybe 30 seconds, some cameras might not have bulb, to maybe 4000 (4000ths of a second) or so.

If you were doing it manually you probably just had the shutter speed too low. Raise it up a bit and the image will come out darker. Since you can raise it and still get an acceptable image, that tells me your ISO can be dropped down and you'll still be fine.

The second one has nice color but the noise takes it out. As for the post above, can digital camera's really have a bulb setting? I thought it was only for film.

Kirk, I don't know much about cameras, xD, but I looked at it today, and the little wheel thing was on Auto, if that's what you meant earlier. >_<

Yeah I tried to make my post as easy to understand as possible.

But anyway, do you know what actual model your camera is, not the lens? (unless I'm just an epic failure and that is your camera) It'd help me when trying to help you figure out how to change those settings.

I like all of them. Your floor picture looks like one I took a while back, but shinier and better.
