When taking pictures at night or in dark conditions, adjust your exposure for the object, not the atmosphere. For example, if you want to take a picture of a Christmas tree and want the lights to be the subject of the picture, underexpose rather than overexpose. If you want both the lights and the tree to be seen clearly, underexpose slightly and that way all of it can be seen well.

Underexposure, part umpteenth
Yes, I know that I'm a little obsessed, but... underexposure, again! :D You will end up liking it, and you know it.
On a different note, one of my pictures is being made into a magazine cover!! Ok, ok, so it's for a friend's school project. But it's still exciting!

The greatness of underexposure
The secret to making the colors in the sky stand out more than they actually do is underexpose. My camera is not so great so I can't underexpose much, but even that much, as you can see, can turn a picture like this:

Pretty cool, huh?
