Photography After Dark

[Digidave]

I love photographing lamps, streetlights, lights through windows, neon lights outside of bars and so on.

So, Rainpacket, do you also go into those fine drinking establishments & maybe tip a few on occasion? I mean, well..... you're there anyways! You might as well, right?

Another tip:

-Use a low ISO when you're shooting long exposures (noise at high ISOs becomes even worse)

Come on, there must be more tips out there

sorry for the probably dumb question, but I am a little confused, higher ISO means higher ISO number, like ISO 800 or 1600, or do you mean sharpness, because ISO 100 is sharper than ISO 1600... which is the higher ISO?

High ISO is a higher number like 800 or 1600. You can use it in low light conditions but it can result in grainy or "noisey" shots.
