After posting there only, I have seen that the Exiff data are stripped
by Yahoo; if possible, will try to make them available somewhere else
tomorrow ('coz now it's 2:15am here and feeling sleepy now)

Particularly you'll need to point to high iso photos you don't like.
However these Yahoo posts are extremely small resampled images so it may be
hard for us say.

My apologies for the late follow up. I have again uploaded the
exported image files at <http://rajeshanbiah.itgo.com/d70/> (probably
need to turn off referrer logging as itgo.com might throw error on
hotlinking)

Images 7-8 and 11-14 are ISO 800; 17 shot at ISO 500. All other
images are shot at ISO 200. I'm not complaining higher ISO, but I'm
complaining all images as what I have seen is not what actually
captured. I'm reading articles on night photography and many of them
mentioned touching with PhotoShop. FWIW, I never thought PhotoShop
touching is necessary for photos shot with professional/costlier
cameras.


I haven't been following this whole thread but I just reviewed a few of
the images. The main issue is that the camera must be on a tripod for
night-time shooting. The blurriness and the zig-zag lights are the
result of the camera moving while the shutter was open. Photogs taking
these types of shots always mount their camera on a tripod and often use
a cable-release or timer to take the image without shaking the camera by
touching the shutter. It's not uncommon for nighttime photography to
have shutter speeds from 15 seconds up to several minutes.

Good luck!
