    Attempted first try at Night. One Pic.

    Like I said, this was m first attempt to shoot at night. And night it was, it was basically pitch black out and impossible to focus. But I think with the light trails it came out looking cool for my first try.


    Any thoughts??? I hate the sky...

    It's alright, but nothing has any relation to anything in the photo. I suppose you've learned a bit about long exposures and light trails, but that's it.

    Also, my opinion on night shots is that it should look like it's night time. This one doesn't.

    I hate the ties to the wheels of the cannon... ruins the moment for me.

    Guess it's not the first canon to ruin a photo though. Haaaa

    Girl, I like that you don't have AIDS, and that you covered the rent when I don't get paid. The dinner that you simmer-sauté'd made it so I haven't been to Taco Bell in like DAYS.

    Thats nice. You could have changed the white balance and made the pic not as "warm" or gold
