[QUOTE="Moab Man, post: 122183, member: 11881"] [b]First night shot, I'm hooked! But...[/b] [FONT=Verdana]It was a particularly dark night with no moon or clouds to reflect light so I took a literal and proverbial shot in the dark. Here are the specs from the photo. exposure 30"[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]iso 400[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]aperture 3.8[/FONT] [FONT=Verdana]focal length 20mm Now the photo itself did not turn out well (blur, trees, etc...) but I'm hooked so I need a bit of guidance. First, I tried to focus using the eye piece - how do you guys get a night shot in focus? Auto won't do it; so what's the trick. Second, I started in Live View, 10 second delay on shutter, and fired away. About half way through you can hear and feel a click in the camera and at the same moment the green light on the back of the camera will come on. I'm assuming this is adding blur to the picture. What is up with this mid point click? Suggestions? Third, looking at my settings above what general suggestions can you make to help me learn this.
