What are your opinions regarding the use of digital cameras to make long
exposure shots at night?


With the right camera, it's much, much better than using film, because
digital cameras don't suffer from reciprocity failure. This is half an hour
at f/2.8, 100 ISO:

The same thing shot on slide film had everything but the stars as pitch
black, due to reciprocity failure.

Last night I used my Coolpix 995 to take pictures of the Brisbane
'Riverfire' fireworks display from the top of a multi-storey car park

about
4 Km from the venue.

Sounds great Paul - can you post photos anywhere?
Maybe make a note in aus.photo
I would like to see what people did - it looked cool
