If you shoot RAW you will need to increase "black" in your processor to reduce "Noise" Also use either the timer or a remote shutter release to avoid camera shake which creates a blurred image. You will have to experiment with ISO's, &amp; shutter speed. Remember: if you use a wide open F-stop you will get light quicker which will mean you need to reduce your ISO or increase shutter speed.
