Here are a few tips and ideas for night time photography:
1. Using a tripod will mage a huge difference because absolute stillness is a must in order to get the best of the slow shutter speeds you need in low light.
2 . Turn off your flash and switch to manual settings so you have more control over the image.
3. Shooting within 1/2 hour of sunset will allow you to capture beautiful colors and details in the sky.
4. Try bringing a flashlight to help with lighting.
5. Sometimes long exposure times can cause grainy images. Try lowering your ISO speed or turning off the noise reduction setting.
Here are some suggestions for what to shoot at night:
• skylines, lights on houses, buildings, streetlamps
• Explore different exposures to create an HDR look
