Night Pictures attempt #3
 

all I have to say is that its alot harder than adjusting your exposure level on the camera. With that being said....

Not too bad... I've never really been able to get night shots figured out either. I think for the most part the limitations of my camera hinder from being able to really get anything decent.

a tripod really helps..

you're gettin there

I did have a tripod and was using it. Guess It wasnt steady enough.....

is that in Sugarland?

Put the camera on timer mode, I'm pretty sure all cameras have them these days, even P&S, that'll eliminate ANY blurryness caused by the movement you put on the camera when you press the button (yes, you do move the camera even with it on a tripod). That said, look like you need to lower your ISO a bit, there's some graininess present in the picture. Do both of those and you should have a clearer, more accurate picture. Then if you have the software, some white balance correction will really help. A lot of cameras have white balance correction features built in (modes that you choose from), but I don't think you can change WB with JPEG images in an editing software as easy as you can with RAW format.

But you're getting there.

I'd would take PCola's advice -- timer mode/s are great because you don't have to worry about holding your hand on the shutter (which is what creates that crazy blur). But you're definitely headed in the right direction.

you are correct

you know what I never thought about the timer until now, lol

timer mode makes more sense now. damn i need a good camera.
