It was actually completely dark out. I think the streetlamps cause that effect since it was a 30 second exposure.

Thanks! It's not much but she's fun to drive and I'm learning a lot about cars as I go along and fix random things that go wrong.

Agreed on the awesome shot of the Beemer. This lens never fails to satisfy...

Was it dark and did you have AF on? My copy hunts like there's no tomorrow in low light. It almost never get correct focus. I've found that if I burst 3 or more shots in a row I can get at least one that's focused properly.

Radiohead if you are shooting at f1.8 then the DOF is very thin, even more so if you are close to the subject and if handheld in such low light any movement would magnify the out of focusness (made of up word). Try some test shots with a tripod, mirror lock and timer or shutter release cable. Here's a couple of shots with a tripod and shutter release cable...see how thin the DOF is, now imagine if you or the subject were to move or breath, the photo would look out of focus.

So consider f/2.8 or so and more distance between your subject. I'm no pro but I find many photos on this thread in focus on a 'portion' of a pet or person. In some cases its 'artisitc license' I understand. Just an observation anyways.
