It's all good! Photography is such a fun hobby.

Look for a good tripod, from what I understand (I have not experimented myself) tripod quality varies quite a bit. Higher end models have vibration reducing materials in the head and legs.

Some high-end names I've heard are Berlebach, Gitzo, and Ries. This could probably go into a whole different topic.

Those are my favorite pics Amazing detail my friend! I say lower the ISO to reduce the grainnyness and slow down the shutter speed. Make sure the light source (HID's for example) aren't shining onto the camera directly. Probably 3 second shutter? Tripod and make sure there's a time delay before it takes the shot so that it won't "blur" from your hand pressing the shutter button.

Don't I know it?!

Blackened already told me that I would need a good tripod to make full use of this camera's capabilities. Thanks a lot! Now I have to go and buy a darn tripod!

Lower the ISO....slow down the shutter speed....3 second shutter....oh you mean I NEED A TRIPOD!?!?!



Hey, I am thinking of getting one of those Nikkor VR (vibration free) lens so I can bring it all the way down to 1/20 and still be good enough to be camera-shake-free......$500 for a lens! *dies*

I love night shots of a Lexus, especially when done right. Definitely adds a little flair to the art of car photography. Your Aristo pics look very nice, keep up the good work

BTW, is it just me, or is the Aristo designed to have no lights above the rear license plate?

I think the pics looks great. Dark photography is such a pain to look exactly like you want it without all the right equipment/settings. When you hit it right it looks oh so sweet though.
