Old picture I found

[GreenStangGT]

haha yeah the pics are overexposed, I was just messin with the settings. Night shots are freakin hard. I don't know if I'll ever take them right.

Night shots can definitely be hard, and digital cameras are harder than film to do well with low light conditions. But you CAN do it! I encourage you to learn the camera you have better, it'll lead to much better pictures and stuff that you'll be much happier with.

Nice!!!!!!!!!!

Man why did you post that, now I have to get a job and earn money to buy springs and rims.

rgs, thats a good trap and a good 1320 if all you had was in your sig and ill second the canon powershot.... sd630 here 6.0 MP takes amazing pics, and even the 800 setting ISO speed has very little noise.

Thanks Caldwell! That's much nicer!

What did you do with it? Sharpen?

 

[Zero Signal]

That is way over-sharpened. The picture only has a slight motion blur about the Y-axis. You can use the smart sharpen tool (Photoshop CS2) to fix it accurately without over-sharpening.

Here . . .
Any more sharpening than this and it will start looking like you sharpened it artificially. Always check your images before taking down the tripod and calling it a day. You'll find you have to redo at least one shot pretty often.

I'll agree that my version was over sharpened, but your image had too much of a blur.

And I'd take my version over Zero's any day of the week.
Sorry bro, but your version just doesn't look all that different. There's no crisp look to yours. No pop. It still looks like the picture was taken with a disposable camera.

I did a few things, I adjusted the black/white levels, contrast, saturation and obviously, the sharpness.
