i set it on manual, somewhere around 2.5 to 5 seconds, try longer exposures just for fun. although be warned that if you have a slow CF card it takes longer to write the files onto the card and you'll miss some shots. use ISO 100 or 200 for best color results of you can. for aperture around 5.6 or so, otherwise the shutter speed gets to long. in my experience you have to kinda ignore the light meter and just experiment for exposure. here are some examples, the first one was actually taken last night. hope this helps First shot taken with a Canon XTi and Sigma 50-150mm f/2.8, the second was with an 18-55mm IS.


50mm 5s f/8 ISO 200





18mm 30s f/18 ISO 100
