Hello,

After viewing a lot of very beautiful night shots I thought to give it a go myself. I drove to the beach, only to fail miserably

Using a Canon 650D with stock lens. Used manual focus, maybe I went totally wrong there as all the pictures I took seem out of focus. Next to that the lights are all big blops of light...


Here are the pictures, maybe someone can give me advise on how to get them better.

Scheveningen_Kurhaus_and_Beach_IMG_1552 by Co'tje, on Flickr - Settings: 25 sec ƒ/7.1 ISO 100 29 mm

Tried several settings on this one from 1 second to the one above, being 25 seconds.


Thanks in advance for any tips!
