It depends. With the one under the car...you are limited to cars with metal folds under the sideskirts. And you are also limited to cars with certain height. There are advantages and disadvantages but i like the suction cups better because I don't require much hardware.

Not bad.
1. too much concrete showing...crop about half of the concrete off
2. the whole picture looks like it's blurry. if you were crouching, lay on the ground instead
3. Move the car to the left an inch. Usually, leave more space on the front bumper than on the rear. The car has room to "go into"
Agreed. Maybe 15min at most to adjust the photo, depending on size and data.
I agree with everything funky said. Did you use a tripod?? If not That would help TONS. Also since you are shooting at night try bumping up the f-stop a little bit to allow for a higher DOF. Also, use the self timer for like 2 seconds or a remote to trip the shutter to reduce camera shake when using a tripod.
Other then that and the composition it looks like a great start.

Also, keep in mind that black cars are notoriously difficult to shoot, especially at night. If your lighting isn't "perfect" then its going to blend into the background, or just look like a black-blob.
Otherwise, the angle of the shot is good, etc etc. Everything looks pretty good, but just get it sharp, and do a little better job cropping it.
Even with the cloning tool, it can take 45 min+ to remove the rig plus the reflections.

Yeah my hands are not steady for s***, so I went to walmart and bought a 13 dollar tripod. I am not ready to drop alot of money on a tri pod just yet so its hard for me to push the shutter button and not shake the camera a little. The shutter speed on that shot was 2 seconds im pretty sure. It might not have been but most of the pics that I took that night were with a 2 second shutter. BTW what kind of remotes and tri pods do you all like?

on top of using a tripod, I use a cable release so my hand isn't on the camera when I shoot, which can cause it to shake a little. Buy a cable release or put your camera on a timer every shot. This will definitely help out 10 fold shooting at night when you're using a slow shutter speed.

That is a real good pic if you ask me.

LOL..dude...2 seconds is a long time! Up the ISO to get the shutter speed faster! Like shoot at 1600 or 3200 to get a decent shutter speed!

Covered an event on Friday night. I love the fisheye!
NO WAY!!!!! haha sorry. Couldn't resist.
I have this tripod from Wal-mart and it is pretty much all I need. I have a few complaints but nothing major.
I also use this remote because it is the only one compatible with my camera.
Well if he is shooting at night then a longer shutter speed is obviously required and I know if I shoot at anything over 400 at night the noise is horrific!! 1600 is unbearable.

I'd rather shoot a longer shutter on a still subject than a higher iso... its not hurting anything, and the quality of the pic is better.
Have you made the rig yet? Or are you using the vacuum to do outrigger shots?

I picked myself up a monopod tg-mp6710 now I need to take some pics with it and see how they come out.
