The Salton Sea is a very special place in California and there are some amazing moody subjects to photograph. It has a post-apocalyptic vibe.

Night Photography Tips.
If you don't want to read the whole discussion, here are some useful tips.

1) Get a solid tripod!


2) Shoot Lowest ISO possible and make sure it stays there!


3) Turn off the long exposure Noise Reduction setting if you have one...Both the D50/D300 "overfilter" the image.


4) Get a remote release (I use the cable-type)


4) Use the mirror up function if you have it


5) Get the White Balance off of "AUTO"


6) Keep the histogram off of the edges


7)Carry a flashlight


8) Watchout for wierdos and anything dangerous (I've had a few strange experiences late at night with bums/drunks)


9) Keep shooting!
