suggestions for night shots?

Posted by danthro (Suburbia, United States) on 29 November 2007 in Cityscape & Urban.

I keep getting hideous-looking night shots with my sony cybershot. I think one can imagine this scene would have been beautiful if it wasn't so grainy. I know it's possible to get decent night shots with sony cybershots, because I've seen them on other sites, Any Suggestions? This is getting frustrating. Up-ing the exposure doesn't cut it.

sorry i'm not able to catch up on everyone's blogs as i'd like to, focusing on other pursuits more now.

Comments, feedback, criticism, suggestions, etc. are always appreciated. Thanks!
