You got one picture right...cars are better seen in the light.

Yeah there's a sweet spot at dusk for photography but it doesn't last long. Shoot some day pics and show off that vert! Love to get a better view

[Steven]

yeah i agree completely. I had to turn up my iso to 800-3200 just to get the pictures with enough light. They definitely didn't look as blurry on the camera..

and photobucket reduced image quality from bad to worst

what you should of done is slow your shutter speed way down and just left it on a tripod.

It still would not have helped that much. Although dark shots need a tripod 100% The trick to shooting at night is artificial light. Something like a street light or some signs/open shops to cast an even glow on the object.
His 4th and 5th picture would have been sick if he got the street light to cast more on the cars instead of facing away/too far away. Shooting a pair of cars is even more hard as you have to play off one casting for two sides that one will be blocked by the foremost car.

I Really think the e46 tail shot with the setting in the back can be fixed if he still has a raw picture.

Im no photo expert but I think you need more exposure or whatever on some of those pics. Put it on a tripod too! I really like the e46 but it makes me sad that its smg

Thank everyone, and yeah they aren't very good pictures, but Vivek wanted to make a thread, so I let him.

I think with those street lights and a long exposure there would been plenty of light, of course impossible w/o a tripod.

SMG is amazing for a weekend car, which is what that one is.
