Nice pic, iso is off though, that's why it gives that grainy look. What camera are you using ?

I believe you'd want to have the iso higher and then have the shutter open longer but lower the exposure a bit. that way you get the lighting you want and don't over expose it.
don't quote me on the exact figures i'm a little rusty i haven't been out with my cam in a while. just play with the settings and you should get what your looking for.

I played around with the pic a lil bit. I tried to bring out some of the colors.

I dont have photoshop, I use a lil program called picture it. It lets me play with pics, but it doesnt do half the shit photoshop can.

lower ISO will give you less grain, but require a longer exposure in less lighting.

well i checked the setting and the iso was at 100. the the shutter speed at 1/25 of a second. what do you mean by "longer exposure"? coz i feel if i had that the dark effect wouldn't have been there and thats what make the photo now the colour has been brought out. but i could be wrong
