I have done some no-flash film format night shooting, with some fairly decent results. But, for the life of me, I cannot take a decent digital night shot. Using a heavy Slik Tripod does not eliminate blurry lighting and I have tried several settings that have not worked. It just occurred to me that I have not tried "manual" using the settings I used with 35mm film. Not even sure I could set the camera up for that. I am using a Nikon D40X. Would certainly appreciate any help on this.
Do you use the self-timer or a remote to trip your shutter? Also are you using live view to compose?
