Well, what film are you using? The best film for night shots I believe is 800.

taking pictures at dusk can often create the effect of late night photo when you develop it. I learned that while trying to take pictures of my lights and such at night.

What kind of camera are you using?

I have a Pentax ZX-50 35mm that takes great night and dusk photos. It will automatically adjust the shutter speed and aperature size for the appropriate light.

If its just a diposable type camera, I doubt you'll ever get a decent shot. I've tried using them at night and end up with grainy white pictures.
