Night time photos - bit of practice - then we got it right!

I took hundreds of photos in Crete and am pleased to have discovered how to use the night time function on my camera.

This photo - clearly rubbish, was taken with me trying to stand still for the 5 seconds exposure time needed - obviously I couldn't do it - so the next night we took the Joby Gorilla tripod out with us and got these fantastic shots of the port using night time scenic mode.

We then went to the pool at the hotel and I tried to take this one of Steven - which did not work - he is the dark blob at the front - because we had kept the camera on night scene mode.

Once we changed it to night time portrait and set the timer so I could be in it we got this lovely shot of the two of us.
Going to use this night time setting again - but only when I have my tripod handy.
