And yes, thats me walking around with a flashlight in my hands... again, you see the lack of "me" in the photos... just the light.. as in the original, where you couldn't see the car..
I then went in my garage... The following pic is a 16 second exposure... it was pitch black in my garage.. I was inside my car (as you can see in pic) and i turned the headlights on for about a second, and then off again... just enough so the camera could capture a nice headlight shot and the ambient light it placed on the vette and room..:

Another option is to shoot multiple photos from the same tripod shot, exposing different items and joining them together in editing (to bring out a nice sunset and close-up subject or something).
I haven't gone out to play with my camera in a while, but seeing these cool photos is giving me the itch.
Very cool
