these are some of the picture i taken today.. comments are welcome!

First Pic not bad.
The nightshots shoot using handheld?
Not sure your cam model... I remember is Casio right?

Not sure do you have manual mode on your cam...
Nightshots pics too underexposed...

Anyway try shoot your pix using tripod or on something which could stable your camera...
Try not to pump up your ISO as it will cause too many noise in your pix...
Just my 2 cents

Lolx...
Look like everyone are buying... Christmas present for our own wors... =)

Since it is a DSLR it should have Manual Mode.. =)
You need a tripod for nightshot... It take sometime but once you know how to it will be easier.

Just shoot more and explore more...

No question is noob pls... I am also learning...
The higher the ISO, the sensor is more sensitive to light thus is allow you to take shot in faster shutter speed... But of cos this will also depend on other factors such as your aperture setting etc...

Higher ISO will result your images to be more grainy as what you are seeing in your pics now...
So try to keep it low...

You may wish to refer to the below which explain better:-

wow i like ur last picture!!!! is damm nice and detail!! haha.. waa pro teach me.. the settings?

Lemme try to interpret, based on the last shot's Exif data:

Camera Model: Canon EOS 7D
Image Date: 2009:11:28 19:12:05
Focal Length: 17.0mm
Exposure Time: 30.000 s
Aperture: f/18.0
ISO equiv: 100

Step 1: frame e shot (composition)

Step 2: Close down the aperture to very small, super small, this will make the reflection "smooth & streaming". On a related note: a small aperture is how one will create those "starburst" effect from street lamps, etc

Step 3: Increase the exposure time/slow down shutter speed until very long: compensate for the super-small aperture, you want to let the light come in through the small hole for as long as possible, otherwise u dun compensate with this long exposure time, the small aperture will make the photo very dark.

Step 4: Cap the ISO at 100. Too high & that night/evening shot will be more noisy than my neighbour.

Of course, a tripod is critical, the huge sensor of the 7D helps immensely as well. Can the photo owner clarify if my train of thought is more or less correct?

I don't think it's necessary to bring.

I am not sure what is the weather over there now. If it's cold, just bring additional battery.

wow bro, you change cameras faster than I can say "wow"

Congrats on a new purchase. since you own a dslr now, stick to it for a while. spend more time on the camera settings and experiment more.Your first few pictures posted are pretty good liao, just keep shooting and improving on them.

I have not heard of anyone bring their drybox while they go for holidays or photographic expeditions. I guess 1st and foremost, you don't change the lens in the open, do it indoor. Since Taiwan is in Winter now, and most buildings are heated, the temperature differences will cause the lens to have condensations easily. So be mindful of this and prevent it to happen.

But the plus point of Winter is low humidity.

ATHANKS!

One cheap way is to have a ziploc. put your cam inside the ziploc whenever you are entering from the cold outdoor into the warm indoor. Let the condensation form on the outside of the ziploc. That would mean you have to let the camera inside the bag to reach ambient temperature before removing it from the zipbloc.

Google for more details.
