Long exposures + cars makes a great combination. Thought I'd grab some moving stills on a car, with the help of a friend of course, dont shoot and drive!:

I like #3 the most! Great idea and nice work in capturing it! :thumb
Larger version may require some additional cropping from the left :scratch

Cheers!:1drink

Interesting pics.
I think No 2 is simple and elegant.

[nalvarez]

I also like #3 the best. How did you manage to get the camera that low and far back on the car!??

Great shots!

I got around in doing some post processing work when I got home, I did a few crops and one without a crop. See what you think.

That's plain gorgeous! Awesome! :thumb
I'd say #1, although #2 is realy close!

[mr peas]

ahh so you like the crop eh? i think the crop helps focus the eyes on the rear rim. im leaning towards the blue tone myself.

[gluwater]

That is real nice. I like the cooler tone myself.

Fantastic Shot #3. It just flows so well.

[lr1811]

I really like this shot, very well done. I assme this is some sort of mount you are using? Care to share!?

[mr peas]

Yeah its a suction cup type mount I used. A good friend of mine lent it to me. I've seen similar devices on Ebay. Look up 'window mount' on Ebay. Its a simple mount with a tripod head, some arm extensors and a 6" suction cup. Then some bungee cords to keep it from vibrating too much. Thats it!

I'm sure you can mimic the shot by simply moving with the car. Id say using a tshirt inbetween the camera and the car's body to keep it steady and just move along with the car. Its a little hard to do, but it works too. :):

Holy crap that's an amazing shot!
