Novice nightshoot

davee78 · 11th April 2008

Started night photo taking recently

But can I get some help here? I tried to take the typical night scene but realised that I can't get the word "Marina Mandarin" in focus..without losing "brightness" of the photo (forgive me for my layman terms

).I am using S5 and I think on that day, my focus was set to maximum and f =8( as stated in camera),shutter speed was slow though...but if I try to get the word in focus, then I start to lose a lot of details to darkness...how would you all take the shot if you were me??
