Pics i took last night...

Took these last night in front of the hotel next to the Hard Rock Cafe in downtown Minneapolis. Thanks to the valet guys for letting us park there for a few minutes

Yeah i know i need to work on taking them, using the right f stops and such. I'm learning

They were taken with a Canon Powershot S1IS i bought about 2 months ago.

Adam, I would have had them on except cops have hounded me everytime i've done it , so i just dont have them on when i'm downtown.

I love those, not being a professional and in the learning process myself I don't know how well you would take my oppinion, but off angle shots hurt my head. In the photographs you took I would have just made the shot parallel with the car. I mean off angle shots look really new age and "sw33t", but I don't really find them all that attractive. But do what YOU want, you are the artist so express yourself the way you want. Otherwise I love them, a clean and shining MINI at night is just so beautiful.

Ugh, I LOVE that new one. The whole look of the picture is so smooth, and I love the orginality. Nice job.

What were the settings of the camera? I like how the light just seems to be floating out there....

I used those smoke bombs from the 4th of july, i think they were a blue or purple smoke color and let them drift into the picture. the wind was barely there, and that moved the smoke into the shot. I threw on the headlights and took the picture. The orange light is from a street light in the street.
