I used ISO 800 with a 16-35 and 50mm lens while in A mode around f/7-f/13 range. I used a tripod and shutter release. I shot right at dusk for a better sky plus it helps with the exposure IMO. Sometimes I would shoot in HDR mode while bracketing 1 stop up and down. If I didn't like the HDR image then I would just pick the best exposure of the 3 and process from there. Which leads to my last point, post-processing will be a big help in acheiving the look you want with the lights. I used Lightroom 4. I hope that helps. Here are a couple of my pics.[ATTACH]22080[/ATTACH][ATTACH]22081[/ATTACH]</blockquote>
