I'm gonna buy a reflex camera soon, but I'm still very pleased with my "old little Kodak", especially when taking night shots. It has a "night pic mode" (like many other cameras now, I guess): I just have to lean it on a pocket tripod and wait 5 or 6 seconds. Some of my latest results:

Almudena Cathedral and the Moon:




The opera house:



A downton avenue:




Arts Centre:




A fountain with color lights and several water jets:




A mall at the outskirts:

Those are really good night shots. I need a new camera, and I definitely would want it to take night shots because I think that would be the majority of what I'd take.

I agree, I think the night makes almost everything gorgeous.

Excellent!! Autumn sceneries are "photogenic", indeed. I intend to take some photos soon too. An autumnal cityscape with a "Romantic touch" (perhaps by the river) would be a nice "target". For the moment I've captured a good sunset. Yesterday:

Yeah, sometimes I could be watching the clouds all day. And twilights often have vivid and striking colors. That's what I call "psychotropic skies" or LSD activity (Looking at the Sky with a Digital camera ).

Thanks. I love night photography too. For the moment, I've got acceptable results with static images, but I need a reflex camera to capture scenes with a certain movement, at dusk or at night, with the best quality possible. For instance, those pics showing fountains that I posted before would be sharper. BTW, that with the water at the arts centre was actually "moving":



In August I went to Perrault's bridge again. At dusk, there were many kids playing at the fountains there, and I took a few photos:






And this is from a month ago. I wanted to "freeze the moment":




Well, they're not bad, I think. But they could be better if they were taken with a higher-quality camera.
