[QUOTE="stmv, post: 110333, member: 10038"] yes, Night photography can be tricky, some people carry a laser pointer, and that seems to work, I use old glass, and also,, a wide angle is very tolerant of focus beyound 10 feet, lock at infinity and go. I personally like around ISO 800 for night, keeping my exposures betweeen 20-40 seconds to not overheat the sensor for less noise. Some ambient light (not total darkness) is ideal. Here is an example. [ATTACH=CONFIG]26101._xfImport[/ATTACH] Fstop: F8, exposure of 20 seconds. ISO 800. but, I had a fair amount of ambient light. I tend to shoot when there is some moon light,, or sunset was only say within 2 hours,, [/QUOTE]
