Simply one of if not the hottest 2IS.

What camera are you using? Did you use a tripod?

Tripods are your friend. Good looking car though. Definitely need something stable for the camera to eliminate the blur.

I did about 110.

venzon - I'm using a Canon PS S2IS, I used a tripod for the far all of them except 2 & 3, I can't figure out what I'm doing wrong. I want some lens to further my photography but there aren't many options out there. I tried messing with the ISO but they all look good on the camera until I put it online then it turns to crap haha

BTW for those that DO NOT know, I AM BOOSTED!

Some quick photo tips...
-Set the ISO to the lowest (generaly 100 on most digi cams)
-Tripod of course
-Use the timer for long exposures (this is to make sure you don't shake the camera when pressing the shutter)
-Set you f/# higher (set it to f/5.6 at least and work you way up from there)

If I use the timer for longer exposures it allows more light to come through right? The ISO that I was using was either 50 or 100.

longer exposures will let more light in but there is a better chance of camera shake. So of course tripod and the timer is a good idea because you tend to shake the camera a bit when pressing the shutter. If it's on a timer you can press the shutter and the timer gives it a few seconds to settle out to ensure so shake.

Make sure your f/# are around f/8.0 for a crisper image the smaller the number (ie. f/2.8) will make it look softer.
