I havea kodak easyshare Z700. I went outside a few mins ago and there are really cool clouds in the sky... The sky is pretty dark, but the clouds are a light color of white so you can make them out with the moon light and without the moon light as well. Is there an easy to to get these pictures to come out well? Also does anyone know where to get like high high res of night time sky shots of clouds and such, like not with a moon or anything just clouds and the stars?

anyhelp is great.

I suggest you spend some time @ http://www.dpreview.com/ in the forums look at Samples and Galleries you might also find information about your camera in the Kodak Talk Forum.
To take some nice shots you will have to use a tripod or just rest the camera on a stable surface, if you can set the expose time use a long one a good few seconds turn off the flash.

Thanks for the imformation, I am going to check it out.

I though this thread was going to be about drinking booze before bed to help you sleep.

lol no not quite

Use an open shutter and a tripod. ISO can vary depending on the camera and what modes you have available. A flash will generally just give you a little bit of ambient lighting but won't fill the entire scene. I will use up to a 15 second shutter since that is all my current camera supports. I have some examples that I can post of 2 shots from a tripod, one being flash based and one being open shutter only. The difference is pretty substantial, but you also should be shooting where there is no wind to disrupt any foliage or objects that can be manipulated by wind.
