Description
This is the second time I visited Petra by night this year, although this time around, I had my new camera and wide angle lens!This shot was taken from a wide section of the canyon that you follow down to see the main treasury, it was a cool beautiful night with a full and bright moon out...very magical

I love the desert! apparently wadi rum- which is our sandiest desert was once a lush forest with all kins of wildlife, you can still see maps and carvings on the mountain wall left behind by the Nabatean caravans and hunters there is also the ruins of a temple, but i haven't gotten around to seeing it!

Nice work man, you nailed the exposure perfectly. It could be a little sharper though, I'd have dropped the apature a bit and upped the exposure time. Unless you did this handheld, in which case nice job

yeah i only learned my lesson afterwards, some of the guys suggested lowering the iso to 100 and extending the shutter time to about 30 - 40 seconds (like your suggestion), still Im proud of it non the less, i was under pressure to keep on moving

Exotic and lush atmosphere, very mysterious. I'd love to visit with all those candles lying around. Beautiful capture

I don't know how far you live from Petra... But i'd go back to take this kind of pic, but with ISO 100... Then you'll have less grain. Can you do it for me?

also i think the is allot of grain this time because i reduced the size and brightened it up.
Thanks and i will go back!!

Well, the 400D is not the camera you'll have good pictures with high ISO numbers. I don't know if you put it deliberately at 800, but always try to shoot at 100. Never put the ISO in automatic either 
With that you'll have a very long exposure, so it's better to take the shot 20 minutes after sunset, then the sky is a bit more lit and you'll have a combination of natural ligh (normally a dark blue sky) and the artificial lights...

Thank you very much for the tips!!!
I did put the ISO on high intentionally because it appeared correct from the display (I didn't realize until i got home) :/ but no problem, at least i learned to correct the problem from you
