well Ive been out with the camera again....4th outing... this time around dusk

and what I thought to be good pics after going through the camera, when I transferred them to PC they look very grainy..... I had the ISO around 800-1600 low light WB and I cant remember the Aperture settings so.....

Any other Canon users who can give me constructive criticism please help..... overall comments on composition will help too please

here's one or two...Im too ashamed of the rest

Exif says iso 1600 @ 1/500th

You're gonna get grain at 800, nevermind 1600, but it didn't need to be that high for that shot, you can hand hold at 1/60th, that would bring down the iso requirement to 200 which produces much less grain.
App setting was f/11 btw, you ought to leave the iso at a lower level and concentrate on what you can and can't handhold in a given lighting situation, up the iso as a last resort.
This is photography related, not a Canon issue.

thanks mate....I'll keep note of that:thumbs:
 
Were these done handheld?

Joxby is correct about the high iso, there is no need to use it for long exposure shots like the last two.

Try and use the camera's native iso, usually it's lowest (probably 200 in your case), for shots like these and you MUST use a tripod - no matter how still you think you are holding it, the slightest, microscopic movement will cause blur.

Try this. It is free and seems to be very good. Nise reduction software.

Totally agree. You'll be amazed at how low an ISO you can go using a tripod. Will make for much sharper images than handheld in poor light.
 
cheers for the advice....tripod it is then :D
