 I've never actually done this, but from looking at
pictures and reading
 books here are a couple of pointers.

 1) There is relatively little IR light at night.
Therefore IR film will give
 you pictures similar to a regular black and white
film. To obtain that  IR
 look lean towards overexposure to give you halos
around your light sources.

 2) Using a filter is not that effective. I'd use a
light yellow one just to
 block out the UV light spectrum. The difference
between a yellow and red
 filter when taking night photographs is probably very
hard to tell.

 3) BRACKET!

 4) To turn your point light sources (street lamps,
building lights, etc)
 into star shapped light sources use a small aperture
f/22 or so. OR use a
 star filter.

 That's all I can think of. Peace Rolland

P.S. It would be REALLY NICE if people took 10 seconds
and edited their replies instead of posting repetitive
junk to the list. It's really annoying if you have to
skim past the same message 5 times in digest mode.
