Canon t3i Night Shoothing

[JD33]

Hello All,

I am looking to see if anyone has had any experience shooting a city scape at night with the T3i? I have the tripod and remote shutter control, but my question is what is the best way to focus? I am going to try and take some photos at night of the city skyline. I am using an 18-55mm lens and a 70-300mm lens.

Any help would be great.

I had tried this on 9/11 this year, photographing the memorial, but my background was blurry.

Here are some of my sample shots:

You will see some were in focus and some were not.

Try using this to calculate your hyperfocal distance to get everything in your frame in focus.
