Make sure all the knobs are tight on your tripod, and if it is breezy, be sure the tripod is weighted down especially if it's a lightweight tripod. Using a cable release will alleviate any possible jarring of the camera by your finger (which can happen even when using a tripod), and using the mirror up feature will also eliminate the mirror from creating a slight camera movement during a slow shutter speed. Question for you--was the sky as light as it appears in your photo, or was it closer to what Don posted? If it was darker than how it turned out, then you'll need to shorten your shutter speed to cut down on the amount of light hitting the sensor. It looks slightly overexposed for a dusk shot.</blockquote>
