What constitutes a "proper" exposure when taking night shots? The histogram? Eye-balling it? I saw one guy describe the method as follows: keep lengthening the shutter speed til it "looks right" in the viewfinder.


When shooting in daylight, I can look at the histogram, and know if I'm over/under exposing. But, with these type of shots (especially with ones with less light in the scene), I often take multiple shots, then choose the one that looks closely to the way I remember it. And, that's usually after I look at the images post processing.


Night photography is a challenge.
