Hi,
I have taken some half decent night time shots for the first time, but a coupld of things happened that I did not expect. The pic below was taken at F8, ISO 100, and a 10 second tripod-based exposure. The flare from the rope lights has occurred in the middle top of the picture - is there any way of avoiding this kind of thing given that all the advice I read says keep the ISO low and the F middling, necessitating longer exposures? Thanks
