IMPORTANT IF YOU WANT GOOD PICTURES
For anyone that's serious in taking some decent shots, i can teach u to make professional looking shots, then bring theses items along if u can...
#Tripod
#DSLR camera with all your lenses ( whether its 1 lens or more!)
(DSLR Refers to your Digital camera that takes lenses)
#Remote cable (if u have one it makes life a hell of a lot easier)
#External Flash, if u have one. Top pop up flash will be no good for flashing the whole car BUT it's better than nothing
#A bright portable light, big torch, or focusable style light which will be used for colouring in your car with light whilst the shutter is open, but u can use a flash as well!
If u have only a compact camera then just try and bring a tripod
Check if your camera has a 'B' symbol on your DIAL or in your MENU, this stands for BULB, which means you can hold your shutter open for as long as u like (that's where a remote comes in handy so there is no camera shake from handling the camera photo button).
Some Compact cameras also have this function so if you want to try using your little snappy cam check to see if it has this function
The reason u need a tripod is because the shutter (the thing that lets light into the camera to make a photo) will be open for a number of seconds, so if there is any movement of the camera (wind, hand shake) the pictures will be blurry. To counteract that you can use your TIMER button instead of holding your finger on the photo trigger button (which will cause camera shake thus blur)
With compact and DSLR cameras, If you just take a photo with everything on automatic at night time then the pictures will look like crap and you won't see the bridge and opera house because the only thing that will be lit up will be the side of the car facing you and everything else will be black.
So hopefully if you are using a compact camera we can leave the flash off, put the ASA (or ISO) at as low as possible
ASA or ISO is a measurement of how the camera calculates the sensitivity of the camera to the light available. The lower the number the less picture grain the higher the quality of the photo!
Ok I need a nap now, I've talked for to long!
