Get Pushed Week 3

For week 3, I was challenged by @synke to do a night time long exposure. I've tried night photography before using my camera's night time mode, and my shots have always come out very hit or miss. So imagine my apprehension with having to not only try night time photography again, but in manual mode, with long exposure (which I've never done). I'm not happy with any of these shots really. The largest photo in my collage looked pretty good on my lcd screen, but that isn't translating onto the computer. Oh well. I tried.

Exif info for these shots:
Largest photo:F 3.2 ISO 160 Exposure Time 8 seconds.
Bottom Left: F 2.8 ISO 160 Exposure Time 8 seconds.
Bottom Middle: F 5.0 ISO 160 Exposure Time 8 seconds.
Bottom Right: F 5.0 ISO 160 Exposure Time 8 seconds.
Middle Right: F 3.2 ISO 160 Exposure Time 8 seconds
Top Right: F 5.0 ISO 160 Exposure Time 8 seconds.

All shot on a Nikon Coolpix P 100

Sorry these aren't that great.

OK - my challenge for you is a self portrait - I did this week for my challenge and although it was tricky was a really good one to do - good luck!

@mej2011 - if you want to be creative to avoid yourself on camera (silouhette?) that's fine - I hate being on that side too so totally understand :)
