Mike you got some nice landscapes for shooting out there, we need to get you a tripod and some long shutter speeds so the blur is removed and that flash can be dumped (like the second photo in the sunset, the plate highlighting in the flash just killed it). That would have been submitable for photo of the year with the fire orange you picked up in the sky.

Cars lookin good, keep us in the loop when the power adder goes in.

Thank you for the advice Emay. I have a tripod at the moment but it is only 12" tall so I will be getting a taller one. I will see if I can photoshop the brightness of the plate out on that one picture. Thanks again

Hobby of mine so don't hate me for seein things. You got some terrific scenery there.

From some of those shots you were real low anyway, the 12" would work for those. I'm a fan of gettin down on the pavement for those low perspective shots, so don't throw the 12" away. It's an asset.

Sony Cyber-Shot DSC-S700 7.2 Mega Pixels. Not the best, but not bad either.

Emay, I will keep the 12" tripod for sure. I also love to get down low for those certain shots. I will see what I can do with that second pic (my favorite).

You really need to get a tripod, and lower the ISO because the pics are really noisy, that will get rid of it, and like Emay said, open up the shutter longer. Your pics will come out much better that way.

Anyway to explain how to do either one of those? haha...I am not a pro with cameras

Mickey, generally the point and shoots have a dial that yu thumb roll and it hard sets on a few iso setting. The general ones are 200, 400, 800, 1200, and 1600. Each of them are called a 'stop' on the camera. Higher end cameras have flexibility to land on a few additional stops inbetween there. However great results can come from just using those standard stops correctly.

1600 in a dark location causes the noise. To fast of a speed to have the camera take in all of the available light in the surrounding area is the real cause. However, sometimes you gotta have it there to eliminate blurr when taking shots hand held. On a tripod if you took all of those dark setting shots over again on an iso of 200 and leaving your shutter open for a longer exposure (say 3 to 7 seconds), all the noise would be gone, but the slightest movement of the camera would add in blur. Hence the requirement of the tripod.

Hope all that helps, tough to give camera help without showing you on a camera face to face.

I understand what you are saying Emay. Thanks for all the help! This shows I am a car guy, not a camera guy haha. I hope to be both one day. Thanks again

In some of the cameras I've dealt with, the automatic modes detect available light conditions and adjust shutter speed for you - use the tripod and manually turn off the flash. It's not as foolproof as full manual controls, but can work suitably without getting dirty with camera tech specs. You'll prolly have to turn the flash off every time you cycle the power on the camera, but it helps. Try going out at sundown some day and grabbing a whole bunch of pictures using all the modes of the camera - maybe there's a night time scenery mode as well? You'll probably find something that works.

I have no clue what Sony does with its ISO in auto mode. In order to set that (if it is adjustable), you'll have to get into whatever manual modes are in the camera. And if you're ever in the market for a new camera, this site rocks. There's no review for that exact camera, but his reviews take a lot of end-user knowledge into account.

Good luck, you've certainly got awesome scenery at your disposal to showcase that great lookin' car!

Thanks very much for taking the time to write out that information. I will definitely take it into account.
