    Will you out the photos up, rather than having us go through your flickr.

    Just put the image tag before and after ...

    Sorry, it just really annoys me.

    This, while obvious in its failings is the stand out for meits a shame there is a shadow created at the bottome of the frame as the (Car lights?) give a nice eery effect.
    Remember....you'll need a tripod for nightime shoots like this also!

    (I also like the one of the gun)

    As for the image posting, if you click on All Sizes on the photo page, go to the medium size and scroll down, youll get the link to wrap the image tags around.

    Thanks that my favourite too. And your right about the car lights. I was using the car roof as a place to rest my camera.

    hmmm maybe resting it on the bonnet somehow (propping the front end up to get rid of the slope) would have missed out the shadow?

    Your probably right. I just cropped some of the shadow out and it looks a bit better

    Is that your dog? Great stunt-double for a hyena!

    I like #2. You look like you have the basics of night photography and low light to a good extent. Get a cheapy Velbon tripod or a small beanbag full of rice to help stablise your shots more.

    Good work. Happy shooting.

    Thanks Howitzer. No its not my dog but I thought the same thing when I saw it. Well not that it could be a stunt double but that it looked like a hyena:)
