Night Photography Crash Course

[Adam Parsons]

I'm currently at school but soon as school lets out I'm heading to Folkston for the weekend. I'm shotting with Canon Digital Rebel with the standard 18-55 lense in Tv mode. What is the best shutter speeds and ISO settings for taking the streaking night shots and the non-moving trian night shots. Thanks

I usually shoot at night in Tv mode on my Rebel. For moving trains if you'd like to get streaks, I would go for about 15-20 seconds (with good lighting) and ISO100. For still shots, I usually go for about 6 seconds with 200 or 400ISO (providing the lighting is good). I'm sure there are better ways to shoot at night, but this is what I am most comfortable with.
