You have essentially 2 choices of night photos - light trails vs. frozen shots. Do you want the moving objects, like car lights or stars, planes) to be frozen or to leave a trail? Once you decide that, the rest is fairly straightforward. To get a good trail, set your ISO to 100 and your shutter speed to 30 sec (Anything longer than 30 sec you will need to use BULB settings and have a remote. But typically, 30 secs is more than long enough for most shots). If you want to freeze things and not have light trails, bump up your ISO to one or two levels below it's highest setting and then experiment with shutter speed. Take a test shot at 1 sec and check its exposure and adjust accordingly.</blockquote>
