I've taken several of those (taxi-light shots) over the years, and
that was heads-n-shoulders the best one for focus and lack of
graininess. It helps that they keep the cabs so nice and shiny.
Otherwise the reflected portion of the image would suck.

I keep my weiner pretty well shined, but until I can figure out a way
to illuminate it from the inside I don't think it can compete with the
taxis. Maybe a urinary catheter sized glowstick would work....
