looks like you have a fish eye lens on a DSLR? what setup do you have?

the facts:
appear grainy = change your ISO to around 200 at night. max 400 in the full sun but you'll be fine just leaving it at 200. this is the old version of film speed. basic rule is lower (200) is for darker conditions and slower shutter speeds and faster (800 and up) is for full sun and sports or faster speeds.

shaky = tripod for night shots with slower shutter speeds. this will also allow you to shoot even slower and allow time for the lights to brighten up the cars. i noticed the grills were darker than the top surfaces.

personally i don't care for "ricer" angles but that is personal preference and style. you change just the ISO, slow the shutter speed and use a tripod you'll find those pictures get 100 times better. other than that not bad man!

the funny thing is that i did use a tripod. on most of the shots. However, it may be something wrong with my camera. I have a Rebel XT and i do agree with you that it looks grainy and i cant figure out why. I used 200 for majority of the shots and for a couple not posted on here i used 100. something seems off i agree i hope to figure it out. thanks for the tips. any angles you can suggest? I am wanting to find new angles to shoot from as the ones i am using now are played out and overused!

I wonder who's CL-S that is.... Switched the Black 17" Drag DR11's for 18" 5Zigen SC3000's.
Thanks Vu for the photo. The trip to Corpus was a blast.

Hey what's up guys... Anyone interested in some 19" Ron Jon Inspyres?

$1000 on CL right now with brand new Nitto 245/35-ZR19 tires. Just thought I'd give you guys a heads up.
