Hello Woophy community!
I'm new to this site and to photography (I usually take holiday pictures, nothing arty...). However, I'm more and more interested in trying to make good pics and i'm truly amazed by some of the pics here!!!
I've got a question about night pics. Some of them are so beautiful! How do you do that?? There's a picture of London I took from the London Eye, and see the result!! All my night pics are like that...
Could you give me some tips on how to take good night shots??
Thank you all for your views of the world!

Hi Abia, I think it has to do with the long shuttertime you have in the evening. Its very difficult not to move your camera for such a long time. A heartbeat gives you allready movement. I think a tripod will help you taking better nightshots. I dont know what kind of camera you use, but maby there is a nightshot option on it??
Greetz, Carla

Just place your camera on something solid, this can be a bench, a car or anything but a tripod is of course the best solution for night pics because you have the freedom to rotate your camera. And I usually underexpose nightpics a bit because your camera somehow always wants to make nightpics to look lighter than it actually is.

A tripod or at least something solid to place your cam on should do the trick.
Also, for good nigth photography results you dhouldn't wait for complete darkness. after the sun has set there is still some light, very usable for a nice shot... (or if you are more the morning-kind just before the sun emerges from the horizon)

Another tip to reduce movement when using a slow shutter speed, as well as a tripod (or solid object) is to use a timer so not even the press of the shutter will disturb your camera.
Hope it helps ~ have fun!
