I am new at this night shot deal...I used my cams pre night mode. Here's what my settings indidcated...Field Name: Field Value Maker: Panasonic Model: DMC-FZ20 Exif Version: 0220 Shot Time: 2005:04:04 10:21:21 Digitize Time: 2005:04:04 10:21:21 Compress Rate: 4.0 bits/pixel Exposure Time: 8 Second F Number: 6.5 Minimum F Number: Focal Length: 7.20 mm X Resolution: Y Resolution: ISO Speed Rate: ISO100 Flash: No Flash Light Source: Auto Exposure Program: Normal Subject Area: Custom Rendered: Normal Exposure Mode: Auto Exposure White Balance: Auto Digital Zoom Ratio: Scene Capture Type: Night Scene Gain Control: None Contrast: Normal Saturation: Normal Sharpness: Normal Device Setting Description: Subject Distance Range: Image Unique ID: In case anyone is interested. I think I would have better results if I learned how to do this manually. I have no idea. Since I have no idea...I just went w/the preset night mode, using the top of an auto to steady the shot. All I know is I think this photo kind of sucks. I am thinking less shutter duration may be something to try...for one...maybe higher ISO even? I have no idea. Anyways I applied more than my fair share of post work to this one using PS6. It is a picture of place where they store dead people before they bury them at the Catholic cemetary. If you have enough money then you can prob. reserve a room and gravesite here. Maybe you have to be Catholic too. I have no idea. Is this too much info.? Thanks for looking, -Peace :-)
