What types of subjects are you wanting to shoot at night? What lens (or lenses) do you have? When you say "night" are you meaning indoors with few lights, or outdoors and dusk/dark/dawn?

Thanks for the link, much appreciated. Its pure night photography I want to get into - such as street scenes, on the beach, moonlite landscapes etc. I'm fairly okay with the lighter dusk / dawn photos I think (see attached), its just the really low light photos i have problems with. Lens wise, currently using a Canon 18-55mm EFS (came with the camera) and a Tamron 28-300mm.  HOSTED PHOTO please log in to view hosted photos in full size.

I currently have a Canon 350D and so far have only tried low light with mixed results. I'm guessing that i need to use manual focus - do I need to use a seperate light meter? I'm also guessing that I need to use the bulb setting on the camera. I have a remote control for the camera and a tripod. Any help would be much appreciated. Thanks Gaz I agree the tripod and possibly the remote control are a must. I don't think you do actually need as of now a separate light meter, and manual focus is a question of preference.
