Susan.. you may also try to use smaller aperture (f/16 or even f/22) to create those starry effect on the lights. The best thing about digital photography is that you can always play around with your setting to get desired result without worrying wasting too much money on film.

If you are shooting digital I prefer shooting near open aperture, around 7.1 or 6.3. Shooting film which I have not shot for years I used Kodak type L and would stop down more around f 11. The reason I use a more open aperture with digital is to minimize noise artifacts.

Great tip. I’ve got to get out and try shooting in that “magic hour.”

Very nice tips. I was just wondering what’s the best aperture used to take night shots..
