May I make a suggestion?
Perhaps you should try light painting. That's the technique where a picture is taken of a moving object emitting light. The most common sort of light painting pics are of light trails left behind: [link]
Contrary to popular belief, it's not actually that difficult to do.
- Set your camera up on a tripod in/during an area of low light. Twilight, shade or an unlit warehouse would be nice. You camera MUST be steady, otherwise the picture becomes blurred.
- On "Manual" mode, make your aperture as small as possible (e.g. F11. The bigger the number, the smaller the aperture.) Set the exposure time to be above 1 second. I usually have it at about 5 seconds in conditions like this: [link]
- Turn on the car's headlights and slowly roll it forward. Focus, and press the shutter and let the camera take the picture, you may have to wait a few seconds before the camera goes click.
If you get your settings right, you'll be left with a picture of the car (perhaps slightly blurred), with a light trail behind it. A good photo would be "just right" in terms of lighting.
- If it's too dark, increase the Exposure or Aperture.
- If it's too bright, decrease the Exposure or Aperture.
- If the car is blurred, slow down.
You'll have to fiddle a little. Give it a try, it's not too hard! It's perfectly logical, and I learnt it myself.

Oh and btw, you can check out my gallery. I uploaded some light trail shots and you can view my camera's data on the bottom right.
