This photo shows a Dodge Charger smoking tyres off the start line during the moonlight sprints on 5th June 2009.
It wasn't quite moon lit, but fairly dark around sunset.
I've post 200+ photos of the day's events here on Jersey Events.

The Invasion of Painted Ladies!
Found about one thousand of these butterflies, within a small area, in St. Ouen, Jersey.
From The Telegraph:
Unusually warm weather has aided their journey from Africa.
Conservationists believe that the invasion of the species of butterfly, the Painted Lady, could be the largest seen in this country since the 1960s.

This is a falcon as seen at Mont Orgueil Castle which is on the Channel Island of Jersey.
Unfortunately, the light started to go not long after the display started, so I didn't get as many good photos as I would've liked.
More of my falconry photos to be found here.
When taking photos towards the end of the day, when the light is warm, don't use "auto white balance", set the white balance to daylight.
This will preserve the warm light tones in your photo. Auto white balance will attempt to correct the orange tones and turn the sky white, which is no good.
If you shoot in RAW mode, you don't need to worry about this setting when you shoot the photo, because you can pick a white balance setting when you process that photo on your computer.
This photo was only processed a little using Canon's Digital Photo Professional software. So, it's pretty much as seen by the human eye.
This photo was taken with my Canon EOS 40D mounted on a tripod, and using a 580EX II flash. The lens used was a Canon EF-S 10-22mm.
The beach is Greve de Lecq, Jersey.
This photo was taken in the garden using my 580EX II flash, off-camera, and fired through a white brolly. Also, I put a black background behind the flowers.
