Horse!

[_dobbo_]

Haven't got a cat so can't join that particular clud, instead I'll post some of a horse - a prancing horse that is. [small]you see what I did there?[/small]

First go at panning so a lot of efforts destined for the bin - this was the best of them:

my new favourite trick - zooming quickly whilst taking the shot:

And finally, the point of going out today was to get this one - who needs a B-Hague mount? Just a tripod, some sellotape and three socks to protect the paintwork!

You sound like you've owned a Land Rover before?!?!

Nice shots I love the effect of the zooming away, I might have to give that a go sometime. I thought it was photoshopped to start with.

Hmmm... I quite fancy a ride in that Fezza. Wonder if Tuan's about anytime soon - trouble is I keep seeing him in that ponsy blue thing instead!

The last one is lovely - nice stuff

Last one is good - I presume the car was stationary?

Pity the driver is leaning forwards like a bloke lost in a town looking for roadsigns

Not quite - we started the car up and got it up to a about 10mph, whilst I ran along side. Next, killed the engine to stop the vibration through the engine cover, and then I proceeded to fire the remote release away, whilst Tuan sawed away at the wheel to get the movement in his hands.

I'm not saying I did, but it would be reasonable to suspect that a little PS trickery was involved to get some (but not all) of the motion blur.

It was too bright for a long enough shutter speed, so had to make do with what I had. If cheating like this is good enough for evo, then it's good enough for me!

Give me a break, I'm only a little fella and have trouble seeing over the steering wheel sometimes...

I'm about every now and again... I'll drop you a text the next time I'm in Brizzol.

Astonishing - you took the pic while running alongside... madness. Well it worked amazingly well, congrats!
