Camera is a Nikon P500, pics taken in night portait mode.

Photos are a little blurry, try using tripod however the cars look very clean!

They all look out of focus to me

I have a tripod, but it's just a cheapo that I have had for a while. It's no where near steady, which I think is causing the out of focus look. My next purchase will be a better one.

Stick it on the tripod, set the cam on a timer and snap a picture that will tell you. Could have just been the night portrait mode you used.

Always use a timer or remote when on a tripod. Just pressing of the shutter button is enough to cause motion blur. Also if that camera has any type of image stabilization you'll want to turn that off as well when using a tripod.

I knew I forgot to do something... I'm going to have to write myself a cheat sheet on what to remember...

I have a cheap tripod that I bought for $35 and it is pretty sturdy. If using tripod, try to use either remote or auto timer, because when you press the button and release it, you are causing camera shake. Also when on tripod, you have to turn stabilization off...
