I switch to Manual, try the suggested settings and see what I get. From there I use reciprocity (e.g. 1 sec @ f/4 = 4 sec @ f/8 = 8 sec @ f/11 etc.) until I get the effect I want.For shots with shutter speeds of 10 seconds or less, I trust the meter if I need to. For shots longer than 10 seconds my faith in the meter drops off rapidly. I'm not saying it won't give you good results, I'm saying that's how I roll based on my experience and shooting style.I rarely deviate from using ISO 100 for night photography but adjusting your ISO will give you some additional creative control....</blockquote>
