Just looks like high iso or perhaps artifacting in a lower end camera. Would be my guess.

Freeride53, very nice photos! I love scenic and night photography.

Just trying out a new panoramic app on my phone so nothing fancy.

Thanks guys. I'm using a Cannon Rebel T1i, and I'm still a noob at night photography.
I was on auto depth mode, I'm gonna pregrame tomorrow night by heading out and trying again with the Yerba Buena Island angles...

Well not to give you advice you don't want but here is what I've done successfully for night shots. (I remember running around taking the same type of shots)

-tripod
-f/12 or lower (which means a higher number)
-iso base (100 or 200)
-SS pretty long. 10-30 seconds. Play around.

This is an old shot I really love and am in the process of retaking better to create a print out of:


f/22
25 sec (ish)
iso 200
Did I mention tripod?

thats why i was asking. Listen to 87e30, if you had a point and shoot i wasnt gonna bother but with a slr you can get some way cleaner pics.

I agree with 87. All my night shots are f 8 or so, and 30 plus second shutter times, ISO 400 or less, on a tripod some come out better than others

Thanks guys. I'm still a n00b so I'm graciously taking any advice that I can get.

Yeah, I was using a tripod, but there was a slight wind, so that may have effected it a little bit. Also, I'm gonna try to increase the shutter-speed this time. ISO was at 100 Also at f/8 last time.

Dont forget to switch off Steadyshot (Sony) or whatever its called on your camera when shooting with a tripod! Ruined some shots cos of that the other night!
Also I m not sure why or how but I started liking photos with some "noise" in them! ;-)
