I like to do night time photography. But I have a problem with manual focusing when there is no direct light on the subject I want to shoot.

Here is a sample of what I usually end up with,



Although it makes a decent spooky shot, I really wanted to get the building in the background into focus.
The only light I usually have is what is being reflected by the moon or clouds or from some street light off in the distance.
Does anybody have any tips for me on how to get a good focus in the dark, or is it really just trial and error?

Thanks in advance. ]]> Other Digital Photography Technique Discussion Billy27 http://digital-photography-school.com/forum/other-digital-photography-technique-discussion/88402-manual-focus-near-dark.html http://digital-photography-school.com/forum/other-digital-photography-technique-discussion/88383-christmas-card-poor.html Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:42:44 GMT So im hoping this is the right place to put this question.

I want to set up a little studio this weekend and take some pictures of my daughter to put on a christmas card. I do not have money to go buy lights and expensive backdrops and all that jazz, so i was wondering if anyone has any idea for me on how to acheive a decent christmas photograph using only do it yourself things (if that is possible lol). I have a lamp I can position, should i put something over it to make it not so bright, and what kind of things could i use for a backround? maybe a large sheet or something of that nature? I would appreciate any input and especially of anyone has any do it yourself photos and explainations of the settings and how it as achieved, that would all be wonderful!
