kodak z650. its pretty good but to take photos at night i need to turn up the exposure which makes loads of blur due to my unsteady hand. i need a tripod really. just cant see the point in spending money on something i would rarely use.
plus my cameras manual setting mode is being a git. keeps flicking back to automatic mode and back for no reason

yeah i used a wall in the first photo. thats why its not blurry. and also why it has a wall across the bottom  |

 for some reason this photo makes it look like the panels colours don't match Thats coz they don't match, sodium lighting is great for highlighting mismatched panels, even though they look fine in daylight. |

What kind of exposure will that cam do? i probably use between 4-15sec shutterspeed when taking night pics. Tripod nessicary!  |

some pretty good pic there it can be tricky getting the correct settings for night shots though this one was around a 15 second exposure taken at last years retro cars show just before the car went to its new owner really could have done with a tripod for this one but i think the general affect worked  |

I usually use a flash combined with a long exposure for night shots, this means that there is an initial sharp image oh the subject matter, then everything else appears. Like this -   J |

It really depends on the camera but you should have a manual seting on it somewhere. Get out of the automatic mode and you'll start getting some great shots with a bit of practise.
Oh. And if you are going to try getting night shots, buy a tripod. £15 for acheapie really isn't much. Same as 3 packs of tabs say, or a bottle of oil.

As a general rule. anything below 1/60 second is going to be difficult to hand-hold unless you're practised in it. 2 seconds is just a no though!
If you're using a SLR camera then the rule of thumb is the lens length. ie If you have a 200 mm lens then anything below 1/200 second is probably going to be blurred.
Also depends on other situational stuff like cold, wind, are you in a moving car etc...
Just a few things to bear in mind if you're new to trying these camera thingys!

Fuji s5600 ftw!
But yeh some cams will have a manual setting where you can adjust shutter speed and apeture and the like. Most 'compacts' just have pre-sets like 'nightmode' which is basicly doing it for you.
You can also adjust the ISO value to make the cam more/less sensitive to light but this can lead to grainy photos in my experiance
Flash can help if your after a night pic that looks like it was taken in the day (ish) but it will dilute the shadows that make night pics so cool. I also find it refelcts off numberplates and rear lenses too much for me.

ive got a bit of camera experince due to doing photograhpy a level but that was all analog stuff. cant find anything that relates to shutter speed on my bloody digital camera tho, all i can find which sounds to be something similar is exposure compensation?? goes up to +2.0 and down to -2.0. any ideas???
|

I think that alters the image to make it lighter or darker to compensate for dark and light conditions. i think thats all done digitally without changing the shutter speed. I may be wrong though
