For night shooting, I use a Feisol 3442 tripod, which is lightweight carbon fiber, sturdy and folds down to 19", my favorite tripod for everyday and travel. I use a cable release so that no vibration is transferred to the camera by depressing the shutter (you could also use the self timer feature). Set the white balance for the light conditions you are shooting in, experiment, tweak, and see what happens!
This image has a little Topaz Labs magic which makes everything sparkle, including Detail, and Clean, and a layer of texture too. You can use code deborahsandidge for anything Topaz Labs.
Have a great weekend, and try a little night shooting! ~Deb
