Tramp said:I'm far from an expert but I'd like to share this with you. I take a lot of night photos. The key to a great night shot is keeping the camera totally still. A tripod is ideal but I hate carrying any extra weight with me. So I use the top of my camera case. This picture was taken from the top of my camera case...I use the handle to prop up the lens of the camera. I set the camera to the P setting, ISO 400, NO flash. The MOST important thing to remember is no movement of the camera when you take the picture so what I do is set the camera to a 2 or 10 second delay. That way there, I can depress the shutter release and leave the camera alone to take the photo. It works everytime for me so I stick with it.
I've reduced this photo by 2/3rds to fit into the forum but the original photo looks so much better. The photo was taken on July 15th after the park closed for the night. I use a Canon 620...not an expensive camera.
Hope this helps a little.
Cheap does not matter. If it can work out how long to keep the shutter open or it has manual control and you have it on a solid surface there is no reason you can't take a similar photo. It may take a bit of trial and error, but being digital that's not really a problem :wave:coastermaster83 said:DAD GUM!!! thats a freaking awesome photo.
