These are a few pics i took the other night. I just figured out how to use the manual settings on the camera. I'm sure the camera isnt helping but anyone have any tips to help improve the quality of the pics any?\







And one from the cab of my buddies truck while on the highway just for fun...

Some are overexposed (use a slower shutter speed or a higher f-stop setting) and some are underexposed (vica versa, longer shutter speed and/or lower f-stop setting). As with any photography, try to get the main light source behind you or above you, or position the car where the main light source isn't in the shot with the car. Keep on working on it, it's all trial and error. Not too shabby for your first night shot though. What camera are you using?

3.1 megapixal kodak dx6340, so there is room for improvement with the camera. Hopefully soon i can get better one.

Were you trying to get the yellow effect of the light on the images? Because if not, you need some whitebalancing on those pics. Not sure if your camera has whitebalancing or not (most digicams do), but photoshop can do it if your camera can't.

That last pic looks like a race scene from Fast and the Furious, when they hit the juice button.
