    That's a pretty crackin night shot there, other than a slight adjust in color I don't see any other way to improve upon that.

    Maybe a longer exposure???

        I think this pic will be better if you make it a litle of overexpose
        Shutter 1/30s, ISO 400, f8

          1/30 of a second would be way too fast, and iso 400 doesn't need to be used. The shot is fine, just more work in the post-processing.

              It's a matter of trial and error really... shoot one, check the result, readjust and shoot again.

              Personally I use a remote control for shutter release, to help with the shake, but you don't seem to need that.

              Anyone ever managed to use a flash on a long exposure?

                All cameras will do that...It's all in the post processing. It will catch the light no matter where it is. Play with your levels, curves, shadows...

                  I find I prefer to shoot right around 20-30 minutes after the sun has gone over the horizon:

                  [photoid=5737188]

                  Get a tripod, cable release, set your iso to the lowest setting, aperture around F11-F16 and then hold the shutter open as long as you want.

                    My camera is an EOS350D and has a maximum exposure of 30sec


                    I used on my photo 30 sec exp f-16 ISO100 and my sigma 50-500 at 191mm of course on a tripod.

                      Your canon should have a "Bulb" mode. Set it to that and the exposure mode to manual, then hold the shutter open as long as you want.

                        The 350D does have a Bulb setting where you hold the shutter open as long as you wish. Turn to full manual and it's the setting past 30".

                            1/30, 30, 40 it doesn't matter, you can shoot it as long as you want by using bulb.
