Car looks good...... You should try some day time shots with less clutter
in the background. In California you gotta be able to find some
scenic backgrounds.

What do you mean by clutter? as in objects around the car?

Clutter like random cars half way in the camera shot, signs, poles, parked trailer.

you need to play with shutter speeds. decrease the speed to let more light in so you can get a higher quality picture.

get a tripod for sure so the pictures arent blurry when you decrease the shutter speed.

A great tip I got was, (if you dont have a tri-pod) set the camera on something, books, whatever..a rock..what you can find...at night there, open the shutter speed but before you take the shot...put the timer for 2 seconds...because the shutter is open for long, any movement will screw up the shot....hit the timer, step back, enjoy the results...and I agree about the clutter...you dont want ppl looking at the crappy altima in the background......

Try not to take a pic with the camera on the ground, and if you do, crop put the pavement...

On that camera I believe you can play with the ISO settings, try em, play with the aperture and shutter speeds....or heck, get the book "Digital cameras for dummies" I did and I learned a million things about my Sony DSCH-9 than I ever thought possible...
I posted a photo set last night...

take a look at pic #2...I did that with shutter speeds...and a trippod, but you can use anything...

anyway, over the past year , Ive learned alot about digital photography so maybe I can help you out more...

cheers!
