Here's a photo of our house taken this weekend at around 9pm. I toyed with shutter speed starting at 30 seconds, but the lights were too blown out. I finally settled in around 5 seconds and while hand holding my flash, I manually popped it at 1/2 power while aiming it at the house. Not bad, but would like to see more side lighting, perhaps some up-lights to help envelope the house.
The orange cast on the driveway, yard, and vehicle is from a street light just to my left facing the house. Great night-light for security, bad for photography. Yes, I could probably tweak it in Photoshop, but the idea is to get it right, in the camera.
Shutter 5 seconds, f/5.6, ISO 100, manual focus to infinity.
Live and learn!
