Gurjeet,
Make sure that you have adjusted your settings for low light pictures on your camera before taking the shot. A low light situation can cause your camera's auto settings to adjust things differently. Your Sony DSC-W5 has a setting on the dial on the top of the camera that looks like a person standing with the moon behind them. This will adjust the settings for a darker shot. Remember, this will only work if the subject of your shot is within 10-12 feet of the camera. You can also adjust the shutterspeed and aperature of your camera manually by setting the dial to "M" and experimenting. The user manual has an excellent starters guide to this on pages 11 and 30.
