Anything less than ~1/30th you are going to want a tripod. Sure you can hand hold it/improvise but it will be a lot sharper with a fixed mount. I would wait a bit longer for some real light, run a f-stop somewhere around the 5.6 mark, just go ahead and run the auto focus, no need to try to manually do it unless you have focusing rings on the viewfinder. Absolutely not a damn thing wrong with a 50mm lens. You will notice with the 50mm in lower light you can run a lot faster shutter speeds since it will let in more light than your adj. telephoto lens will. Something else you can do is jack up the ISO to 800ish to compensate for lower light. You don't need to worry about a little bit grainer photo, especially with the digital format and where they are at with that. Are you running in dummy mode (automatic), manual, aperture priority, or shutter priority? I'd be tempted to run in aperture priority, set the f-stop to what you find works for you and work from there. Keep an eye on the shutter speed though to make sure that it doesn't want to lower it to much though. If it does find more light, jack up the ISO, or lower your f-stop (lower the f-stop number, bigger the opening).

Just some things I noticed at first glance, I've taken and judged way to many photos growing up to not comment on them.

Photos look good Sean, car looks pimpin as always. Critiques on the photos though: On the first photo the sky and reflections on the hood are washed out Photo two, to much foreground and I would turn the wheels the other way Also, maybe its just my eyes late at night, but they seem a little fuzzy, they just don't look in sharp focus.

Going down to see the woman Thursday. :)

Working again tonight. Breaking more stuff as usual.

He was a terrible person, and the government will likely be better off with him not there. No offense as to the reason for his departure. But I'm tired of the media playing him up like some hero when he did do all those bad things outlined in your post. Ted Kennedy can rot in hell. Someone in one of my classes asked who he was. I made the comment he was the person who's car has killed more people than my guns...

Not that I am fond of cutting my fingers though, never been a fan of it.

Teh woman does like what I can do with my fingers so it wouldn't take much....

Gotta love the FASFA too.... Parents make more money, expected parental contribution goes up, amount I get goes down, amount folks actually contribute stays the same, bout zilch.

Sliced my finger open good making a sandwich... Maybe if I do that more often teh woman will fear for my fingers and just make me all my sandwiches...

Put a resetting circuit breaker in place of it, see if that helps.

Nice thing about the Kennedys

Finally get to slow down for the weekend. Been going non stop helping my brother move, then had to driver 5hrs back, then do paperwork that involved talking over the phone too. Now to take a shower and see what I need to do before I get on the road at 7am tomorrow.

You can get some pretty damn good deals on Sony Bravias on slick deals, we have a 46 at work and its a pretty nice tv. Of course I will whore the Sharp ones....

craigslist and watch slickdeals.net

Driving up to Farragut, Iowa today to help my brother move.

I just get angry when I read all the fine print on bills....

Posting while in class

Thats crap. People in prison can get free money but I can't?

Congressman are normally really stupid I think.

I about took one out this morning.... Need to put a cattle guard on the ole Cadillac

I hate it when school is back in session. To many damn people walking out and about that don't know how to walk across a f'ing street.

I haven't fished in years....

They would have to think? Seriously? This is the internet Sean, thinking isn't allowed... You should know that.
