Hi Fabienne.
First you need a tripod, you cant really get the optimised night shot without one, unless you have a place to put the camera and it can sit steady without disturbance. Second, you need to put the camera setting on manual and set the desired timing of the shot, Several seconds is usually needed. Thirdly, dont use a flash unless you intend to use it for a specific reason. I dont use a flash during my night photography (see my gallery for examples :) ) Experiment with different apertures, people have different opinions on this one, i just try different settings till i get the desired effect.
That would be a start..just experiment, experiment, experiment
Any questions just ask :D Check out my gallery if you want to see what you can do with this type of photography :D
Kind Regards
Paul
