I like the actual beaches of South Beach, but these are the evening shots I took on Ocean Drive. I like the Art Deco style with all the neon.

I hope you enjoy.

Mangos club on Ocean Drive. The scenery in front of the club is interesting as well, but the bouncers don't like you taking picture.

    Great night shots!!
    Hi, those are great night shots. What camera settings and exposures did you use for them? I love how rich they are and how they are not grainy!

    I actually took these with my old point and shoot. It's an older Canon G6. I've gotten so used to the DSLR that I don't use this one much, but it still takes a good picture (and travels easier).

    Ok, on to the settings.

    None of the shots used a tripod! No really, I just used newpaper stands and parking meters to set the camera on.

    Exposures were anywhere from 4 to 15 seconds. Aperature was from f4 to f8 (max for this little camera). Iso was set to 50.

    It was a windy night, so you can see a lot of movement in the palm trees. Not much has been done to these PP either. Just a little sharpening and some straightening.

    Thanks for your comment.

    These photos illustrate an important difference between DSLR's and point-and-shoot digital cameras: different focal lengths used to compose the same shot. The focal length used on a point-and-shoot might be 1/3 or 1/2 that used on a DSLR to compose the same shot. This greatly affects focal properties. For example, if your little camera is at 15mm and aperture F/4, then your hyperfocal distance is about 10 feet, meaning that anytime you focus on something much beyond 5 feet, all of the background will be in focus. I get this data from:

    If I put my shortest lense (28 mm) on my Canon XTi and set it a f/4, then my hyperfocal distance is 34 feet.
