that picture is grainy right?
All my photos i take yesterday was like that
is there any problem with my DSLR
or is it because of something I DID?
please help me
i am a newbie at this.

the grain or noise is because the pic was shot at iso 1600. u can use iso 100 with a lower shutter speed and get the same results because u were shooting at 24mm so you don't need a high shutter speed like 1/1250.

Ahhh, welcome. Do a read up on the 3 aspects of photography, ISO, Shutter and Aperture. Once you've mastered... or rather, understood, the sky is the limit.

Have fun.
