Night shots have frustrated me for some time now especially that I’m only using a point-and-shoot digicam. My mistake always lie on my use and/or improper use of flash. The ISO setting doesn’t really do much to improve my shots either. They tend to be grainy and artificial looking. Bu then, one night last week, I got lucky.

I was snapping like crazy while we drove long Sisowath Quay and out of the dozen photos, this one, taken just before we passed in front of the Royal Palace, isn’t really bad.I love how this picture turned out. What do you think?

That’s the stupa on top of the Wat Phnom hill (Phnom Temple) jutting out, taken while inside the car. What a great sunny day it was when we went out to run some errands around lunchtime. The traffic was light and there was a slight breeze coming from somewhere.
