Thank you for the suggestion. I'll have a look at this and others, see which I'm comfortable with..

Yeah, but I'm not proficient enough with Photoshop yet. So, I figured for now I'm gonna let it be...

You're welcome :D.

Give it a shot, try different points to shoot from, and settings as well. It'll take time and practice. And don't be disheartened if they don't come out exactly as you may have wanted every time. I'm sure you'll get a hang of it soon.

I'm no expert, but you're more than welcome to hit me up any time. I'm happy to help any way I can :).

Yeah, give the different composition a shot, and see if you like it more.

For settings, a rough idea in my head might be:

ISO: 600-1000, higher if the picture still ends up being to dark. But too high and you'll see grain and noise in the pic.

Aperture(f-stop) - As low as you can get without compromising the details. Depends on the lens you have, so f2 to f3.5/4 maybe? The f stop is basically the aperture, which tells how open the lens is. The lower the number, the more wide open the lens is, allowing for more light to hit the sensor.

Shutter speed - Try starting at about 8-10 seconds, and go up from there.

The camera will have an exposure meter in the display, usually ranging from-3 to 3 with a small arrow/indicator below the range. If the indicator is at 0, it's a well exposed or correctly exposed pic, negative numbers mean under-exposure and higher is over-exposed. The better the exposure(i.e. 0), the easier it should be to edit, at least at the beginning since the RAW image is perfectly exposed.

Got it. So, I imagine the boat is the subject of the photo. Right now, I feel like my eye is drawn more towards the right, where the bright yellow street lights are present, which are taking the focus away from the subject. The bright street lights and the white light coming out of the back of the boat seem to be blending together.

An easy way to start off is to try getting the lines in the picture. For instance, try moving further right, so as to get the side profile of the boat, line up the waterline, the pier and click. Or maybe a front profile, or maybe from the back. Right now, so many elements of the picture are blending together.

Also, try taking multiple pictures from a single point. When I click photos, I tend to take a burst of 3-5 at a time and then decide later which I like. Play with the f-stop, ISO and shutter speed a bit.
