    Pics of my Exige S at night

    Took these pics the other night and I thought I'd share. I know don't have all that many pics of my Exige S. So I thought I'd take more.

    Enjoy!

    Nice car Mike, must be like a really fast go-kart! Doesn't look like too many people get out at night in that area of SA.

    Very beautiful pics, Mike. I appreciate that you took the time to snap a few photos, been waiting for them Thanks for sharing

    btw, have you upgraded the lights? Looks like HID on the last pic, not stock.

    Looove that night stuff.

    May I suggest (to everyone here) be sure to separate your subject from the background.

    Even though it's easy to retouch, for still (non-living) subject matter be sure you look at _everything_ that's happening/interacting/overlapping in the frame, not just the car. Sometimes move just a little bit to eliminate overlap etc.

    I specifically went to a quiet area - I don't feel like 50 questions when I just want to take a few pics and go home. The otherside of the centre was packed!

    Hi gauss,

    yes I have put in HID lights in the car - well worth it! The stock ones were like parking lights! I couldn't see a thing at night. Here are the pics of when I did the install. very easy!

    Thanks MMD - the first photo was original. The other photos I used something call HDR, I just got the software the other day and haven't quite got a hang of it. They didn't work out as well as I hoped.

    Mike, if you have an estimate, how many kilometers do you drive in total per year?
