When it's really dark and you're setting up your equipment, how do you see? In the past I've had trouble making sure I've got the subject in frame as I can't really see much through the viewfinder. Although I'm using a Nikon D50 which isn't that great to look through really unless there's loads of light. This means I have trouble focusing, and when I get back to look at the shots on my computer I'm often disappointed. Should I just set the aperture to f/16 and just focus manually? I usually use my Sigma 10-20 so I suppose I could use a little flashlight and adjust the focusing ring. For example, there's a beach near me and a few times I've gone out in the evening, around and after sunset and got a few shots that I like, e.g. this:  Click here for the full 1024x681 image. I tried to go when it was properly dark and take some really long exposures of the water, as before, possibly with stars and/or moon, but I just couldn't get what I visualised. I think it's due to what I mentioned before, not getting what I want in the frame and also the focus being messed up. I suppose I could do with a few pointers for settings to use when it's dark, rather than low light. Also, do people use that long exposure noise reduction feature that is present in some cameras? Does it help? I haven't really thought about it before but it's something that just occured to me now. Thanks! also, now I look back at that photo I posted, it seems a little over processed to me. Any tips on editing long exposure night photos? Sorry for all the questions!
