I love picture #7, what camera are you using and did you have a special setting or lense for that? I am having trouble taking night shots like that!

70-300VR and a lot of practice

Those shots are VERY hard to pull off. That was handheld too btw

that's insane! I would have thought you had a tripod to pull that shot off. Was the 70-300 the lense type?

I currently have the canon S3 IS and am wondering how I too can take shots like that. I have very shaky hands I guess so night shots pretty much always need a tripod regardless of how stiff I stand and try not to move the camera always ends up blurred

THIS is the lens that was on my camera when I took that..

I'm not too sure about that camera but I think it may be very hard (possible but hard) to pull off a shot like that.

You can pull it off with your camera, Kyle. You are going to need to get a Tele-lens adapter so you will have more zoom and a mono pod (or use a tripod with limited movement) since you have shaky hands

I was going to but kind of like it being there.

I may edit one without it just to see how it looks.

that's a beautiful edit, I thought the entire shot was very creative and sort of liked the idea od the camera being in the picture. Looks good overall! Still think that #7 is by far the best shot of them all!

I like the idea of the camera in the picture but not the way it is. It would have been better, IMO, if you showed the camera lens, hand held, closer to the glass where you can see it clearly. Also the car a bit closer to the mirror would have been nice. That arrow is a bit distracting, but sure love the idea.
