Some cool shots! I guess the biggest thing is that you need to correct your horizons. #3 os oof, and you may need to concentrate a bit more on composition.

Nice shots dude!

Yah, I noticed the same thing with the horizons. Still getting used to setting up the tripod quickly. I also did concentrate on effect more than composition.

Thanks man!

I like the "ghost" shots...and it would be cool if you typed out what your camera settings are.

Also, the Evo shots: Because the streetlights are bright, your shutter speeds were too fast to properly expose your car.

Shutter priority, 30 second exposure for the ghost shots. if you go to my flickr account you can get the settings for each picture.

Thanks for the tip on the EVO shots, i believe my exposure time was around 5 and 8 seconds.

I like #1 a lot. It would be a little bit better if you could have exposed the stars more. I'm by no means a professional, but know what I like. What type of camera?

You're an idiot. Please stay out of my thread unless you have actual tips or comments that relate to the photos.

Thanks man. I am shooting with a Canon Rebel XTi and these shots were with the 18-55 kit lens.

what are you 12?
Shots look good, from one noob to another, shot 1 and 2 seem a tad over exposed on the buildings and around the lights? possibly correctable w/ photoshop? looks good though, i cant wait to get my nikon.... soon very soon

Indeed this is a Subaru forum, but if you haven't noticed this is off topic. Unless you have a question about his pictures or a worthwhile comment, please don't post.
