Becky: Most digicams produce nice shots at night in automatic modes. One problem: In the standard Program (P or Auto) mode, the camera may not be able to set an adequately long shutter speed. You may need to see if it has a Night Shot option. Use a tripod because the shutter speed will be very long. If you shoot hand-held, the image will be blurred from camera shake. Of course, if the scene is bright (neon lights, for example), you may be able to get a nice photo without worrying about the operating mode or a tripod. Peter Burian, www.peterkburian.com
