I tried to take pics like that with my Olympus Camedia mega zoom camera last night but they turned out all shakey and crap. What did you use to take these nice pics?
Did you use a tripod, should I have taken mine?
Any advice on aperture and shutter speed would be welcome too as Im useless at night pics, cheers

Tripod is essential for any long exposure shots, I also use a remote to fire the camera so I don't have to touch it.
The shots of the city had about an 8 second exposure, and the one of the moon coming up was about 6 seconds.
Other than that it was pretty much point and shoot.
I was a bit disappointed with the shots I got; there are a couple of good ones (the top of the building is my fave) but not as many as I was hoping for. Next time I'm going to take my video camera as that has a much bigger lens and I can shoot 25fps and uprez the grabs which should get me some awesome shots.
