Use a flash is the easiest way to take a photograph at night.

Hovever if you don't want to use a flash then use a tripod to hold

the camera steady and a slow shutter speed to get enough exposure.

Another way is to shine a light on the subject like a flashlight. That will

give interesting effects.

*************

Keep in mind that if using shutter speeds that go beyond 60 seconds or so, you will have to deal with reciprocity failure, and possibly color shift.

Answer

Depends what you're trying to photograph. If you're taking a snapshot of people or objects nearby, you can use your flash. There's no point using the flash for anything outside its illumination range, though, so don't bother if you're trying to shoot something more than a few feet away.

If you want to take a nighttime photo of a landscape or an inanimate object, set your camera on a tripod, compose your scene, hit the mirror lock-up and use a verrrrrrrry slooooow shutter speed. (It's also a good idea to use a cable or remote shutter release to avoid shaking the camera.) Experiment with aperture and shutter speed to increase the likelihood of getting a good shot.
