my camera has some auto steady feature that doesn't work so well on the road at night, but it makes for some pretty neat images

Yes HP and Casio if i recall have the same tactic for "antishake"... Blurring the image beyond recognition, so that it doesn't look like you moved your hand..

Anyway at 16 seconds nothing short of a tripod is going to steady your camera, and in a moving car... Well you could buy one of those crazy expensive helicopter gyroscope stabilizing mounts, but I don't think thats in your budget :)

actually i think it takes several images and then compiles a single clear shot from them

I give you my favourite of the ones I got after seeing the idea in some photography magazine. Adding a nice heavy weight to the bottom of the tripod helps to stabilise the camera very well. Also driving fast ;)

The oddity in the corners is because I had one of those nasty wide angle adapters attached.

Pretty interesting. Looks like you turned on your warpdrive or some other silly thing like that; I personally would crop the dashboard out of the picture, but it's pretty nice the way it is; I'll have to try that sometime.

I thought about cropping it but decided to leave it in the end. I'm going to have another shot at it with my 350d and see if I can get the camera closer to the glass. Maybe find a straight well lit bridge for more of the zooming along effect.
