Apologies for poor resolution, as these are from photobucket - click for full res! And spot the (mint) Jensen Interceptor tucked away in behind some pillars in front of my car in the first pic...

Couple of mine

How do you mount, and then fire, the camera for these?

Not my shot obviously, but I've done similar and I have a sucker mount that holds my camera to metal/glass, and I have an infra red remote control to fire the camera.

You can set a delay in the camera menu so you can start driving slowly, point the remote at the camera to trigger it, lower your arm back to the 'driving pose' and a few seconds later the shutter fires for its required time.

Plus I usually have bracketing on so that it will automatically shoot 3 images one after another, one under exposed, one correct and one over exposed, so I can pick the better of the 3. I often find night shots look a lot better with one or two stops over exposure.

I use a D7000 but most DSLRs have the remote control, delay and bracket functions

Many thanks.

I have a D7000 too and really fancy a go at getting one of these shots (have an SLK which would look great taken with a wide angle lens from the boot lid).

Just looking on Amazon, think this would do the trick?

Called Gecko for a reason, Rock Solid that mount. Only issue I have is the small plastic securing thread, its smaller than the camera base, so getting a good grip to tighten/loosen can be fiddly, as there is added camera shake you don't want.

When you do get it tight, then there is the taking off with cold fingers after fiddling with settings and angles for the past hour in winter....a clamp would have been better.

Does this count:













So maybe not what you expected......but this is my son's first car, and was his first birthday gift last week - he is getting used to it slowly and I am sure he will enjoy it.
