As it seems, not everyone knows how to tinker with the dials and buttons on most digital cameras, so most shots are fired with the usual setting-- Auto + Direct flash. And if you haven't noticed it before, this is the usual setting they use when they take a photo of you for your driver's license, or worse, when police take a mug shot of you. Not exactly the best combination when taking outdoor shots at night. That's where the slow shutter setting comes handy. You just mount the camera on a tripod, fire away and let the light "paint" the picture for you (for about 5 to 10 seconds).
Or, you can get crazy with "light"--flashlights, LED lights, blinkers, the works!--and craft up a creative night shot, just like what these guys did:
So there! Get creative!
