Night pictures are hard to take, especially if it's in motion. Plus the fact that your sister was probably snapping while driving...?

Motion shots are hard enough during the daytime for any one who isn't familiar with the camera.

For these types of shots, panning is the way to go. :thumbup

If the object is moving faster than you, you (the cameramen) need to keep that object in the camera's viewfinder as it travels... And snap while doing so. That's the basics of panning. If the object and you are traveling at the same speed, then there's no need to pan because, once settled, your viewfinder will have the object centered. However, night shots like these have longer exposure settings and which is probably why everything got so blurry. (road bumps, human movement, and everything else that moves during elapsed time).

Keep practicing! Or call me out during the day and I'll help you snap some pics! :thumbup

oooh yea
i've been taking pictures for a loong time. ever since highschool.
It was just hard to do this one cuz I wanted to take a pic of myself.. and this is as close as I'll get... :p

the only way to get a focused shot is with 3 people. 1 driver, 1 rider and 1 camera man.

I have camera mount :teeth

I used to take those rolling wheel shots.. :thumbup
I had my gf drive in a circle while I hung out the back of my hatchback... holding a tripod camera against the body of the car to get the shot. :teeth
