Not car pics, just night pictures of a town by me. The moon was full and I LOVE shooting at night. Might go out again tonight too. These are all super long exposures, shot only by ambient light, some streetlight, some moonlight. Tripods are wonderful :D Let me know what you think!

some of those shots were really nice. it showed a quiet, peaceful winter town asleep to me. the light off the moon was amazing last night! definitely a great idea to go shooting.

Thanks! I use a canon 20D with either 18-55 kit lens or 70-200 zoom. All the exposures were around 25 seconds long so I could keep the ISO and noise down. Only hard part was having the patience to retake pictures that a car drove in front of.

They are also all edited for color balance and saturation.

Thanks for the kind words :-)

NICE SHOTS. I always wondered who owned or what was in the long building/ garage in Hope. You shot a couple of pics of it. Be nice if it was for sale.
