The first one with the light trail is great, but you can see that in most of the others you struggled with lack of light.
Did you not have the flash or was it just not an option ?

[Horney]

I wanted to log exposure, didn't want to use the flash. The indoor ones I should have used flash for.

I think with the low light, the camera has struggled to focus too.
I've found this when taking photos at night and ended up switching to manual focus to stop it hunting, finding nothing and then taking a fuzzy picture.
Night photography, particularly outside is tricky.

[Horney]

It was in manual focus, it's my dodgy eyes that are the problem

first ones class, what was the shutter speed you used? taking it its just someone with a torch or something running along ?

[Horney]

30 secs and I used my phone.

You should adjust the little knob on the view finder whilst looking at some text, this will mean that the lense will take a clean pic and things shouldnt be blurred for you when taking the pic

It's called the diopter.

And I'm sure Nick knows about it.
Besides if you're wearing your glasses you shouldn't need to adjust it, its only if you take your glasses off... or if you have dodgy eyes and don't have glasses (or haven't got a new prescription set).

this is a problem i have, im short sighted so dont always wear my glasses so when i come to take pics i have to change the focus on the viewfinder to suit no glasses/ glasses
