I have two cameras Amy. :)

Olympus FE120 quick point and press. (older model but still very capable)
Canon EOS500D. Awesome SLR.

A tripod is not an essential for night photography, but it does help and yes I do use one sometimes.
placing the camera on a solid surface works very well but you can't always point it exactly where you want to.
It is very difficult (but not impossible) to get a good sharp image if you hold the camera in your hands.

I normally reduce my pictures from full scale to 1920 X 1080 for a slide show on my TV. They are truly fantastic to look at on a wide screen TV. :)

Believe it or not some of my photos here are a bit fuzzy because I didn't know I was supposed to turn off the lens auto stabilizer in the EOS when using the tripod. :oops:
Fortunately it doesn't show up because I have to reduce the resolution of the pictures even further to fit in the forum.

Look No tripod :)

I really like this shot. The sense of movement is excellent. Even if it is a little fuzzy :)
I could go on to explain about timing and aperture settings etc however, it was a total accident and I didn't know I had taken it until I got home :)

Cool pic. The clarity of the couple on the left makes it look like they are ghosts. Maybe from the ToT???

That is a cool picture Joe! Sometimes the best ones are the ones that happen by accident. That is why I try not to be too hasty in deleting digital photos...

OK this one isn't exactly night, but nearly. The long exposure time lightened the sky and flattened the water.
Just to show that it isn't just the Imagineers that can produce superb lighting effects :)

Thanks! Yeah it was the picture with my family in front of the castle (from my trip report thread). I just cut us out, then used the cartoon effect on the castle and typed the text all in photobucket. It was fun playing around yesterday. We probably need to create a banner like you guys have in your signature with Mayhem Marauders on it.

No problem guys. I think I could come up with another one that looks a little better, I was just playing around when I created that one. If we could create one like your butt toucher Mouskedude, I think that would be cool. But, I've never done one of those.

Anyone who wants the one I did, just right click on the pic and view image info, then copy and paste the address in your signature box under control panel. PLEASE feel free to use it.

I'll have to see if I can do one for our DLR members...

Yes, those are neat looking...and I have never heard the story behind the "butt toucher" :roll: I'm sure there is a story...there is always a story!

Sorry Amy, no cool story. Just remarking on his banner that reads "butt toucher" from Finding NEMO.
