...with two GFM's on the loose.

Bored on a Saturday night, me and Pocky decided to go around Pasadena looking for some shots. Still playing with my D60, hope you guys enjoy! Critiques are more than welcomed!!!

@ photogs, I noticed when I was taking night pictures with lights in them, I would keep getting lights in other parts of the picture. Like certain lights in the frame were making a reflection in my lens and causing bright spots of light to show up elsewhere. A mild example can be seen in the passenger door panel of the last picture; the more major ones I already photoshopped out. My question is, how do you get rid of those when shooting?

Also I really need to invest in a better tripod, a good 3/4 of my shots had to be deleted due to my wobbly tripod.

Nice pics Justin. I noticed that you used full manual mode. Next time, try Shutter Priority Mode for the pics you want to have prolonged shutter speed.

And Aperture Priority Mode for shots like #11. Also, you can boost your ISO a little higher especially when you are shooting in low light conditions.

We're supposed to have plates but... yeah we don't. And I get super paranoid everytime I pass a cop haha

Thanks for the tips Terrance! I'll try these out next time I go out. I'm confused as to what shutter priority or aperture priority would do for me vs full manual? I guess, why not always choose both shutter and aperture in the shot?

Sorry Javy!!! It was a super last minute thing, and Old Town on a Saturday night was ridiculously hectic! I was running my *** off parking and getting these shots out without getting heckled by the police, I hardly had time to think about anything else man!!!

(Plus, I didn't want you to see my janky old noob tripod, haha)
