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.
