Another angle of the giant Garuda Statue at Mandala Garuda Wisnu Kencana.
Mandala Garuda Wisnu Kencana is located on the Bukit Peninsula. This place is a limestone plateau that was once used as a quarry. This is what is seen if you stand facing away from the Garuda statue.
Look at the size of that thing! My friends are standing directly under it.
Full manual for me.

i think im deproving -sobs- need a dslr. :dunno:
Thing is, are you thinking of getting the better lenses? Else the lens on the S5IS is in some ways better then consumer dSLR lenses. Where can you find a lens with the same crazy focal length range, and f3.5 at 420mm? With a TC, I am shooting with a 660mm f3.5 IS lens.
I am copying this from another post that I made before

I have a S2IS & S3IS, both have given me very nice photos at night.
This is an example of a shot taken with my S2IS. This was @ 660 mm (35mm equivalent), on a tripod.
Singapore's Merlion
I would use the lowest ISO possible. Set up your tripod. Set to 2 second self timer mode. If you are not used to shooting at night, I would move the focus point to the main part of the subject. Use the <SET> button and the arrow pad to move it. You would have to tell your camera to set the metering to the focus point. It is somewhere in the manual. Half press the shutter, to get a guide of the exposure settings you need. You can then bracket shots based on this, either by using the exposure bracketing function, or (what I normally do) you can go into manual mode and set it up by yourself. Once you get used to it, you would not even need to meter the shots first (most of the time).
Composition wise, I would leave it up to you.
I have tried hand-holding with support before, it works depending on the subject. This was on Benjamin Sheares Bridge, with my S2IS, 2 seconds, f8 with the camera pressed against the railing.
Light Trails
We have a great Night Photography forum. Check out the Tips, Tricks and Guidelines for Night Photography thread. It has loads of good advice on how to take photos at night. Too bad about the light pollution here, have to head to really isolated areas to take good night sky photos.
Or simply use long exposures
to get such results
or just make full use of our superzoom for some moon madness
or superlong exposures using the CHDK Raw hack
bro, all freehand?
Other then the moon velasco would need to have a lack of a heart beat to shoot handheld.
A steady support is a must for night shots. I have gotten away with placing the camera on benches, walls etc when I do not have a tripod with me.
Read the night photography thread I pointed out, it has most of the information you need.
Quite easy actually. Here is one of mine.
This was with a tele converter, effective focal length of 660mm. Do not forget, the moon is reflecting sunlight. Set focus to infinity, spot meter on the moon. You might want to adjust your white balance, so you do not end up with a yellow tinge.
