Lightened up !

新加坡佛牙寺龙华院

Took this photo of the Buddha Tooth Relic temple (新加坡佛牙寺龙华院) with my Sony Ericsson K810i using the Twlight Lanscape mode.

If you're using SLR cameras, you would probably have your camera on a tripod since your shutter speed would probable be around 1-2 seconds.

There would usually be a lot of people around such tourist attractions. If you want to depict movement of these people (through blurry human movements), leave the aperture as big as possible, so that the shutter speed would be just long enough to capture these movements.

However, if you want to minimise such movement appearing in your photo, choose the smallest aperture (f22 or f32). Your shutter speed would then probably be more than 10 seconds. Unless the person is walking very slowly, or was standing absolutely still for 10 seconds, they won't show up in your photo.

If you're not using a tripod, then you would need to find something where you could support your camera with. Luckily, there was a streetlamp riser (the ones you see along the road). I rested my handphone/camera on top and took the photo.

Alternatively, you can try leaning on the lamp post. Press your shutter release while breathing out and holding your breath. You might need to practise this. At least it will reduce movement of your hands.
