Since the "subject" in these photos is usually still, I just use the timer to eliminate the shake.
I finally ordered one of those bendy leg tripods. They make one rated to hold a dSLR. I'm always kicking myself when I don't lug around my tripod and it gets dark and I can't take the pics I want to take.... hopefully this will suffice in those situations.

Here's a few from tonight. I never knew about night shots until this thread, these are my 1st attempt. No editing was done and if you have any suggestions let me know. I know they look really yellow but that's because of the lights in the parking lot. And the whole sky looks like that too. I think it's due to all the snow, low clouds and university parking lot lights.

What the hell. I never knew Arizona got snow!?!

Incident light means incoming light, so that would mean you can filter "out" the yellow...? Cool!

I think he meant "incandescent". The best bet for these since you had nice pristine snow would be to have the camera evaluate the white balance by aiming at the snow.
