I think you've made a good start, however, it would probably be a whole lot better still if you actually got out of the car and took the shot without having to go through the extra layer of glass...

Glad you're getting the sort of shot you were after though.

There's a whole forum full of people here who'll be happy to do just that!

There's no wrong and right when it comes to taking flash pics, it depends on the picture that you want to create. Experiment and make your own mind up.

50.

The lower the ISO, the less sensitive the sensor is and the longer the light must fall on it in order to form the picture. You use the higher ISO numbers when you want to freeze action or take picture in poor light. Remember that the higher the ISO, the poorer the picture quality will be in terms of digital noise (grain).

Stick to the lowest you can get away with for normal use and definitely go for 50 in this scenario.

I have no intimate knowledge of your camera but what you're trying to achieve requires you to keep the shutter open for a longish length of time. If your foreground target stays still during this period and your background moves then you'll get the effect you're after.

Check your manual for ways to change exposure time and remember your camera must be held absolutely still - You'll need some sort of support (a tripod would be best, even if it's only a small cheap one).

Good luck and welcome to the forum.

You'll have to ask beakynet - I did send him a couple of the digicams to have a play with but not heard anything since so I'm guessing it's not as easy as it sounds..?

Still have 2 left if you fancy having a hack around with them?

I'm hoping someone's going to take me up on my offer and make it work. A 110Digital would be a truly wonderful thing.

The "Mode" button doubles as the power on/off - the power will automatically switch off after a period of inactivity too. There are no obvious screws in the construction, rather it looks like the upper and lower halves of the case snap together in a clamshell fashion.

If you'd like to have a try then just send me a PM with your address and I'll send you one out. I kept these 4 back in case of returns but as it's over a year ago since I last sold them I figure they're no use to me any more (and I was selling them at 8 quid each - that should give you an idea of their quality and their wholesale value!)

They use a single AAA battery and have a two-button operation; the first is the shutter and the second scrolls between modes. There's a 2 digit LCD display to either indicate which mode you've chosen or (more usually) how many shots have been taken. The memory is built in and the only other connection is one of those mini-USB sockets for uploading the pics to a computer (cable & software supplied).

The entire thing is barely bigger than the AAA battery used to power it so I reckon someone with a little ingenuity could rig it up into a 110 cartridge. It's that word ingenuity that rather rules out the possibility of it being me though...

Well, I have 4 spare 0.3mp novelty keychain digicams left over from a large consignment I was selling in the run up to last xmas - what I don't have is the technical confidence to try ripping them apart and making a Franken-110.

If anyone on here fancies a go then drop me a PM and I'll send you a camera to play with/strip for parts. Postage costs only, I'm just interested to see if anyone can make it work...
