the best thing you can do for night shots is to use a tripod and a cable release (if you set the exposure time to "B", so you dont actually -press- the button to shoot. Sounds lazy, but it can mean the dif between sharp shots, and blurred shots). If you only want to shoot between the aperture times on the camera, use a tripod, and just set the timer (like Visitor said) so there wont be any camera shake. As for Rork's idea of never shooting at night, hmm, i disagree. I did shooting in what seemed to be pitch black night with a tripod, and managed to get pictures of clouds I didn't know existed (long exposures, 8 seconds and above). If yer gonna shoot nights with a tripod and cable release, you might as well use low speed film and take your time. If you wanna shoot nights with out a tripod, use high speed film, 800ASA and up. woops, justrealized yer using a digital camera. From what I know, digis tend to start blowing once the "film" speed is set above 400, so I dunno. Best to use a cable relase, low speed, and just let it burn in i guess. Still, anyone else reads this and finds what I said useful, go for it.
