I also agree with the comments regarding a tripod.
I would be tempted to try using a tripod or propping the camera if you don't have one and drop the ISO as low as it will go, 200 I think for a D60 and then go for a long exposure.
The only issue here of course is that if you are outside the wind may move the subject during the exposure.
Another alternative may be to stop right down, set the camera on timer for say a 3s exposure and then use a torch or flash gun and paint the subject.
I quite like playing around with these things just to see what affect you can create.
I would be interested to see the results

I agree, tripods help eliminate any hand movement. I can tell a difference when I use one. The only other thing I can tell you is to experiment with different DOFs. Believe me, I take a lot more crappy shots than good - but at least I'm slowly learning things by experimenting. Oh, I also bought a DVD on how to use my camera (40D) and that helped me understand how to operate it - though I constantly forget things. :) Good luck.

| Newly growing garden plants are well worth capturing in pictures. I think you elimiated noise pretty well. I find myself using a tripod more often than not for a static object when the light is marginal. It provides a way to get a good exposure with a lower ISO (and lower noise) by allowing a longer shutter speed, with the bonus of a sharper image (no wobbly hand, and even the opportunity for narrower aperture for greater depth of field). If no tripod at hand, dragging a box or bench into the area might provide a firm platform. |
