Why do my long exposure pictures turn out grainy on my digital camera? (A85)

CCD sensors just get noisy at high ISOs.

Do you really need high ISOs, though?

Why not just REALLY LONG shutter times? > 30sec, etc.

Gorgeous! Much better than it looks in reality! (I do like Columbus, but that pic is awesome)

i always use the base ISO when shooting night pics

Looks like that makes some difference

ISO 400
ISO 50

Slowered down the exposure time for the ISO 50 to get similar brightness levels.

I can't take this buggy fvckin ws_ftp pro anymore. What are you guys using to upload your pics?

Use flashFXP or bulletproof ftp.
ws_ftp is garbage, always has been, always will be.
 
Are there any sites for n00b photographers that explain ISO settings, exposure length, etc.? I'd love to try some of this out with my camera (Canon A40), but I have no idea what any of the custom settings mean.

Thats a dang big boiler you are putting together. I interned at a paper mill in NC a few years ago and got to help rebuild a recovery boiler (which blew up 10 months later, there goes $50 million) It was a ton of fun. I got to work 12-14 hours a day 7 days a week for three months. Yea for over time, I was making a lot more than the full time engineers!

Those pics were from a fluidized bed boiler in Seward PA. There are two in that building. I'm thinking it was a 500-750 megawatt facility, but I can't remember. There were over 1,000,000 manhours on that job. I was pushing the nite crew pipefitters (we don't work on the boiler sections you see in the pics, just the associated piping) and worked 15 hours a day most days. In 6 months I made so much money it made baby Jesus cry.
The outfit I was working for went bankrupt on that job and the gravy train came to a halt. It was a sad day.
I worked for a couple other outfits at a lesser capacity on the same project but was so spoiled I ended up coming home.

 
Awesome pics!
It looks like most of you guys have cameras that compensate for 'Hot pixels'.

My Olympus 720 has lots of hot pixels so I have to take a black frame and correct afterwards in software. Sorry no pics.
