Most of my picture take with:

1) AF-ON
2) IS-ON
3) Without Tripod
4) ISO-200 to 600
5) Aperture-F5.6 to F9

All my picture is not shape at all. Using Canon 50D with 18-200 lens.

You should try using a tripod for night shots to get sharper pictures.

Start with these parameters:

1) AF first, then switch to MF
2) IS- turn OFF
3) Use Tripod
4) ISO- Lowest you can set
5) Aperture-F8-F16 (depending on your diffraction limit)
6) use a remote.

Hey bro,

If you shoot in Manual Focus, you might find the live view function quite useful (press the SET button) - then you can double zoom (x10) and adjust your focus ring so that your image is crisp clear. Aperture-priority mode works for me, you can have a go w/ it.


I'll keep my ISO between 100-200.. But then again it really depends on what kind of mood you want to convey in your image (if its to be underexposed or overexposed)

Good luck, take it easy & have fun shooting!
