Christmas Lights suggested Times

Here are some suggested exposure times for different types of subjects:

Christmas lights: 1/4 to 3 seconds (pictured) of exposure.

Cityscapes: 2 to 30 seconds of exposure.

Moving water or fountains: 2 to 5 seconds of exposure.

Portraits: 3 seconds with flash. With some HP cameras you can use the Night Portrait shooting mode, which automatically adjusts your shutter speed for night shots and adds a quick flash at the end of the exposure to capture your subject in detail.
