Default Photography After Dark

Night Photography...

I like shooting at night. It's not necessarily as easy as shooting during the day and I probably wind up tossing more of my night shots than my day shots, but it's still fun. Wellington lights up the Botanic Gardens during the summer which makes for all sorts of great colours at night.



Some of my tips for getting good night pictures include:
-Use a tripod (I'm hopeless without one at low shutter speeds)
-Make sure your white balance is set correctly for the lighting
-Use your camera's timer or a remote shutter release so you don't knock the camera when you take the picture.

What are your favourite tips and techniques for shooting at night?
