Those are nice but one thing i would suggest is to think about composition, for example the long exposure picture of the cars lights blurring on the road is nice but the huge patch of black and distant city kinda ruins it. Maybe if you'd gone down on the road and found an interesting way of showing the image it would of looked a lot nicer. Experiment with ways of making each area of the image appealing to the eyes and interesting.
You appear to be interested with long exposures so mess around with things that aren't so obvious, everyone does long exposures of car lights. Try something a little less obvious and find new ways of showing it
Also with long exposures, i find you lose a lot of image quality unless it's mounted on tripod. You can see various objects blurring in the backgrounds due to the camera moving as you held it for the long time periods
Anyways good luck, i'll look forward to seeing more from you :tup:
Edit: I just remembered that for some coursework i did a while back i experimented with long exposure and did a small series of pics primarily as portraiture but mixed in some long exposures of fire. One picture was of a model stood beside a fireplace with the flames moving in such a way that it appeared he had a huge schlong that was best described as a fire tentacle.
Hope that gives you some ideas.

i used a tripod for the last 2 but i dont have any remote so yes they are a bit shaky
and yeah that is kind of my main problem i think, even i thinlk my shots are kind of.. err standart and common, and ive yet to find something that makes them really special, meeeh i guess i find something sooner or later. (i hope)
thanks for the comments guys
btw: my friends are such drunks they would probably be consumed by the fire within 10 seconds

As long as someone likes them (And someone always will, even if you never know about it), don't bust your ass trying to figure out the super-duper exclusive never-before-done shot, it just drives you batty. As for the shake, I'm sure your camera has a timer mode Apply your settings and turn it on, really helps me when I'm using a tripod. I REALLY like the lightning one, the colors are well defined, as is the case with the rest of 'em Good job duder :tup:

Sweet Camera! have fun with it.
1st pic: As you said "common." It's pretty, but it's just another typical sunset. I also find
the post in the lower left distracting.
2nd pic: Color looks flat. It could use little punching up in PS. Composition: I think you should
have concentrated on one group of flowers. As is, it kind'a splits your attention. Also,
everything looks a little out of focus. A slight increase in DOF would help.
3rd pic: The horizon doesn't look level. The focus looks a bit soft.
4th pic: The horizon doesn't look level. Lightning is hard to get, and you did a pretty
good job.

/me searches for dead guys hidden in the backgrounds and catspiders...
nope?
Alright they're just awesome pictures! I get it! Excellent pictures dude, I currently have one of them as my background.

Nice dude, can you take a pic of some kind of faucet/running water using a really high shutter speed? A pic like that should come out really good with that camera.
I love the tree limb shot, especially the clouds. Very nicely defined and clear... although Liz has got me looking at the horizon, and it's not level

Actually, I believe camera sensors exist that register light changes and automatically take a picture once they detect a flash. Might want to look into those.
hehe no i dont mind as long as u dont share them like crazy ^-^
those sensors are good for daylight, but in the night u need to have long exposures for detailed backgrounds
yeah i seem to have a problem with lining the horizon... maybe its dislexia in the tree slump actually i was standing on water didnt bring my tripod and i tried to put the camera on the tree so it didnt move and i almost fell hehe actually i took 3 pics of that slump and thats the more even with the horizon

and I thought I was the only that takes pictures of plants
I like the one of the clouds and the one of the lighitng the best... they all are good of course
nice work, you have any more

I like the first of the second group. I visit a lot of Photography sites, and I'm about flowered-out, so I may not be a good judge of the second.
