Red face One boring night

Can't sleep so took her out for some shots. For those who has been to Hong Kong. The first two are on the Queen's Pier and the third one is with the Cheung Kong Center as its background.

The photos are a bit fuzzy... but I found that the flash ruins everything. Anyone have any good tips on taking pics at night?

One word. Tripod. Don't use a flash with it and you should use longer exposer times with the F-Stop wide open. Now if it's a digital, you're on your own.
Nice ride too!

Most avg priced consumer digital cameras have some variation of a low light or night shot mode nowadays. Just place it on a solid surface and set the timer as not to shake the camera on pushing the shutter button.

Park the car directly under a light post to get some light reflected off the hood. There's too much lights in the background and that detracts from your car in the dark. Maybe park the car with lots of neon lights bouncing off the silver paint. That'd be cool.

Hey Moogle, do you have any pics of your Turbo S? My friend in HK will be taking delivery of his early next month.
