Just sharing some pictures I took with my Toshiba PDR-5300 (and my new tripod).

Comments? :D
 
I gather you did this at f/2.8 and 8 seconds? Apply a Florescent White Balance, and see if that gets rid of that IMHO 'ugly green cast', unless of course thats what your going for.

Spot meter the fence, and expose at f/4 for 8 seconds, then expose at f/2.8 for 8 seconds with a florescent WB. You can also use you exposure compensation to muck with it a little.

I use an FL-W or FL-D filter to get rid of the florecent cast.

Your subject in the first picture the alley is good, play with that scene for a bit. The other one has that pole in the middle.

Hope that gives you some input.

Cheers,
 
Well there was no particular subject ;) And I must admit I like the green glow.

About the parameters, the f is 2.8 I believe yes, but the exposure time was near 0.5 second I believe, at ISO200. For 8 seconds it would look like plain daytime.
 
Nice pics Tek..green glow is nice in the bottom one but I'm partial to the top one.

Drop your ISO to the lowest (100 I think) and try it for a little longer. If you like the cast keep it, try to expose the details around the edges of the picture, or crop off the underexposed parts.

I like your pics, don't think I am critizing you I just giving you feed back on your pictures. Its important to hear different views and not just "Oh nice pic, good work" all the time. You definitly have potential.

Well, I appreciate the feedback :D

And yes, lowering the sensitivity might improve the quality. The manufacturer says in the manual that the higher, the noisier... Probably because its not that accurate in low light.
 
A CCD is prone to more digital noise at higher sensitivity ratings. Thats why you should always if possible shoot with 100ISO. Don't be afraid to use the higher ones, and edit the noise out. Use programs like NoiseNinja (appropriate!).
