 This does appear to be a bit tacky as a few different holiday themes do seem to be going.  I am very familar with the camera you are using I have one very similar to it that I use occassionally.  I know it doesn't seem like you really need a tripod for that size of a camera but it can help.  There is a lot of blurring and movement in this photo.  I am not sure if you just rushed and didn't give the shutter time to open back up again or if you fell victim to camera shake either way try taking a night photo just as it is getting dark also if you don't want to spend the money on a tripod find something to rest the camera on, cars, fence posts and tree branches can often help study the photo.  Take your time relax and have fun with it. |

		| This was a good try!  Keep it up.  One thought - some commenters have recommended using a tripod and that is best.  When a tripod is just not practical like in a car, you might rig up a "beanbag."  This can be made with a large bag filled about 3/4 with beans, or almost anything with "just enough" give/firmness to it to steady your camera.  Drape this over the car window and you're in business. (My beanbag is a pillow case filled with a couple of old rolled up blankets.) |

		| Photo is blurry unless it was intentional for the tacky challenge. |

		| This scene is pretty tacky, but I would suggest using a tripod or other means of stabilizing for nightshots. |
