yea...the rest of the bathroom was pretty dirty still - I'll post some wider shots. My contractor buddy is pretty amazing there used to be a closet where the shower was and he turned the 4th bedroom into a huge walk-in closet from the bath.

what camera are you using? I find my Nikon d80 to be very noisy once you get to around 400.

my advice is to lower the ISO and increase shutter speed...Camera should figure that out automatically anyways.

Preset your white balance to your bathroom wall or that sink.

experiment with lower ISO speeds, it'll help with the grain. As for the colors, you need just a tad bit more light inside the picture, my advice would to try lowering the shutter speed a little. Keep up the good work.


A wide angle lense would work wonders in here!

Are you trying to take shots in low light hence higher ISO if so yeah try the shutter speeds a bit however a tripod might be usefull in that case. The picture below took me a while to find the lighting but overall I was pleased but I did play with the ISO until I tried the shutter speeds.

I'm no pro at this either.......

That looks cool...yea initially i raised the iso cause of the low light but then grain gets introduced. Thats the issue I'm having is finding the sweet spot between iso settings vs. shutter speeds. In this case the space was too cramped for a tripod.

The higher the ISO the more noise you get.

All you have to do is lower the shutter speed down between .5 and 2 secs and see how that turns out, with a ISO of 200.

Took your guys advice...except I need a tripod now to take out the remainder of the blur.....Thanks. ISO - 200, shutterspeed 2-4.

Crom, those pics look great! Your private bath is very well done! I really like the tub faucet, shower wall design, and the overall coziness of the room.


Keep up the good camera work.

Hey man half of learning photography is simply trying out different settings. The main thing is don't be afraid to try new things and see what works better for you.
