I've been playing around with my camera's shutter speed. I thought I could get some really cool pictures. Sadly, these are not them. Anyone got any tips on how to do it better?

These were taken with a 30'' shutter speed and an F3.5 aperature and using the flash.

Have you tried it without flash?

Yeah, you can hardly see the figure or when you can he's orange, because of the street lights.

I may take a flash light out to provide more white light or take him out to the country where the street lights won't mess things up.
