Hey guys, my pops got a new digital camera so I tried to take night shots of the car for the first time ever. Here are the pics. Any compliments or constructive criticisms are welcomed :-)

Nice exhaust tips! I know almost nothing about photography, and I'm sure I couldn't do as well as you did, so I won't pass any judgement. My only suggestion would be perhaps use a slightly longer exposure time?

Also, where did you find such a clean carpark? All the ones around here are covered in oil stains and used condoms...

Nice pics mate ! i like how you timed the indicator flash.

Did you use a tripod ?

Maybe a lil more light could have been captured reflecting off the car ???

But hey, im a camera amature also. Good stuff, nice car!

Long exposure, you'll get the indicator anyway, since the shutter will be open for longer than the flasher delay.

I think you'll find the side markers are wired up to the park lights

I've not done a lot of night photography with a digital camera, but have had some good results from dear old film cameras. Next time, try taking shots when it's rained (not actuallt still raining though). The reflections really make the difference.

If you can then really extend the shutter, you'll get the tail lights of other cars as a long beam of red. Cars comin towards you have long beams of white (headlights) but don't use flash. Make sure you use either a tripod or something solid to rest the camera on. (all as long as you can keep shutter open for a few seconds with your digital cam) if you can, the colours really stand out!

Nice pics!
Never noticed the Lexus versions have an external aerial! So much for Lexus = Classier!
