Tripod! Other than that, what kind of night scene are you talking about? Bob

Hi David, Thanks for the tip. I love the shop of the tent under the stars. I wasnt to take a cool shot like that, but what I can't seem to understand is: what is the best shutter speed & f-stop to use??

Jessica, That really depends on what you are taking a photo of. If you want to stop the action of something that is moving, or want a sharp picture of a person, you will need to use a shutter speed of about 1/60 or faster, or use a flash. If you want to take a picture of something that is not moving, or something that is lit up, like a monument or a building with neon signs, then you can turn off the flash and use a tripod with a slower shutter speed. Put your camera in Av or Aperture Priority mode, and select an f-stop of f8 or f10 or higher if you want more depth of field. Check the shutter speed that your camera meter selects. If the slowest speed is blinking (30sec on my camera), then you need to switch to a lower f-stop until you get to a speed the camera can use. You should use a remote control or cable release to trip the shutter, since pressing the button with your finger can shake the camera. If you don't have one of those, you can use the self-timer on your camera. Let us know if you have some other specific night scene in mind, and we might have other suggestions. Chris
