If you lower the ISO setting, it will force a longer shutter speed. (The ISO is like the film speed in the good ole days - higher number = faster film which takes less to expose, but has a grainier image)
Mine is a point-and-shoot, but it has extensive manual options. For these kinds of photos, I put it in "Tv" which allows you to set the shutter speed (up to 15 secs!) and then it adjusts everything else based on that.

Yes, yes it really does.. And the light spectrum from a full moon is so incredible.
Yeah, I've got a couple friends who carry a PowerShot as a backup camera. They seem really decent for their price.

I love this thread - can't believe I hadn't posted these already...
From a trip to Budapest Hungary.
St. Steven's Basillica
Matyas' Cathedral
The Palace (this was the view from my hotel the last night)
The Danube River, Chain Bridge, with Matyas' Cathedral in the background
Some comparisons of "traditional" and long exposure photography:
Long exposure, no flash
Flash, traditional

I *LOVE* that first firework shot! NICE!
What aperture, shutter speed, film speed? I've tried my hand at fireworks with not as much luck/skill as that!
