Cheers Matty. Now I have a bit more of an idea of what I need to do, hopefully tonights result will be better :-)

Im always fiddling around with settings, from ISO to Exposure compensation... but a good starting point is.. ISO 400 ... Aperture f/8 ... Shutter speed 2 sec .
Great that you have a cable :-) If you can.. lock you mirror up too
Ill be there again tonight, not sure which spot to pick though

Taken at F/20...ISO 100... Shutter speed 2 sec.

Using a tripod and remote.

First attempt at night shooting.

Nice one mate Im lovin the 2nd piccy where you can see the heads of the spectators... Very cool

I heard there was a fire, just wondering if I might have caught the fire in this pic ?

Love all the photos, thanks to all for sharing. Does anyone know of a photography course run locally? I want to be able to use manual settings on my camera. I've checked at the tech but they don't do one suitable. Any help would be very grateful.

Not a course but Southport Photographic Society is on a Monday night at EMMANUEL CHURCH on CAMBRIDGE ROAD @ 7.45pm

I have found it very helpful in the 9 months or so I've had a Dslr. Lots of talks and competitions, Which you don't have to enter, but let you know what's right/wrong with an image.

I didn't find it helpful with how to USE your camera.....They let you know what is right or wrong but not how to correct your errors!

Some great pix there...
