After seeing those night shots in Njaco's thread, it inspired me to give it a go. This is the first time I've tried this, and I was pleased with some of the shots I got, however a tripod would have been nice! and I'm no expert when it comes to photography. Anyway this was all an experiment and I had great fun doing it. Here are some of the "better" shots.

Nice! Tripods definitely help with night shots, but these came out pretty nice.

Nice photos Wildcat.

Wish I could take better pictures. When I get a good one, it's by accident.

Good stuff. I have taken some night shots with my new camera since I have been here in SA (by favourite is a night traffic shot). Will see if I can get them uploaded at some point.

Good shots Wildcat, night shots can be tough, I'm good at messing them up!
One day I'll read the instructions!!

Instructions? Blah!
Thanks for the comments guys, all done for a bit of fun, and even though they're not the greatest photos, I was happy with how some of them turned out.
By all means post any night shots you guys have taken as I for one, would love to see them.

Nice shots...my camera isn't made for night shots so all my photos are in daylight, sunrise or sunset.

Hi Wildcat,

>By all means post any night shots you guys have taken as I for one, would love to see them.

Full moon ... 840 mm focal length (equivalent), 1/800 s, hand-held. Some chromatic aberration from the use of a 2x telephoto adapter is evident.

Regards,

Henning (HoHun)
