evening exposure
With the weather warming, why not get out and go for an evening stroll, walk off your dinner and explore what the night has to offer. Your sunlight might fade, but there will still be plenty of opportunities to capture well-lit images. Scenes look completely different at night, and with just a little imagination, the results can be unpredictable, unexpected and exciting! All you have to do is enjoy the adventure that darkness presents, and you will soon be turning what might be a well-photographed daytime view into something a little different. Here are some images captured by Bill for inspiration to get you started...

tip of the season
night photography
First, get yourself a good sturdy tripod. Next, to eliminate any blurring, you will need to learn how to use the self-timer to release the shutter, so that when you take your photo the camera remains completely still. Using your finger will only jog the camera and blur the result. Self-timers are good to start off with, as they come standard with your camera. But if you want to capture moving objects, you will miss them due to the 10 second delay. So, if you start getting into night photography, you might want to invest in a shutter release cable. This way, you can release the shutter and take a photo at the exact moment of your choice, whilst still not shaking your camera.
Here are some exposure tips for different night scenes:
> for automotive light trails, use exposures of 8 to 10 seconds
> street and cityscapes require around 30 seconds
> landscapes with star trails call for at least 3 to 4 minutes
