I Don't Get It,
I Don't Get It,

I've been trying my hand at some long exposures but every shot I take seems to be slightly out of focus. AF obviously doesn't work due to the darkness and every time I just switch it into MF and put it on infinity focus nothing is in any way sharp. How do you guys get such sharp focus on these shots taken in near pitch blackness?

I tend to flip out the flash and throw on autofocus just to get the focus. I don't have a tripod yet, so I have to rely on a firm hand and a stable object to hold the camera base on. Haven't seen anything at night yet that's worth capturing without a tripod (ie finding the right flat topped post/wall).

I'm still amateurish, so if any of you guys think I'm doing it wrong, by all means correct me.
