"Photoshoot" on the Rooftops of LA

Enjoy!

haha, I wish!

I can't take pictures for **** at night! they always turn up blurry...

I guess I need a tripod or something (even when I set my cam to "night mode"), it's still blurry.

I have a Sony DSC-P150 and I can barely use it. My mom takes better pics with my old 2MP Canon...

haha, scurred... I dunno, especially since I don't leave DTLA until late some nights. and the fact that I went to school in DTLA for 10 some years (from HS to grad school). plus, that rooftop is a pretty secure structure.

but, once you get outside, you see all the crackhoes and whackos...

almost across from Staples (past the freeway)... the traffic isn't that bad b/c the entrance and offramps of the freeway are pretty close and far enough from Staples.

the traffic is actually WAAAAAY worse going to Century City in the mornings.

that's actually an LA County Sheriff's Association Sticker. I'm not sure if it works in helping me stay out of trouble, but it's worth a shot...

make sure you press the picture taking button HALF way down... let it focus (when focused you will see a green filled-in circle)... then press the button the rest of the way... it should give you perfect pictures everytime...

not saying you are dumb or anything, but most people don't realize that's how sony cameras operate...

thanks, but I understand that... my issue is even when it "focuses" esp at night it still turns out blurry...

I was testing my Mom's camera out last night and I noticed the same thing (It's a T1). I wonder if there's a steady cam feature that'll prevent any slight hand movement when a picture is taken or any background movement.
