Why are there so few car photographs?

This is by no means intended as a criticism, because those shots are awesome. But, out of curiosity for someone like me who knows jack about photography, are the shaded lines that are visible in the blue sky shots simply what you get with digital cameras? Or is it through posting onto forums where something happens to quality etc?
When I've tried tweaking my own images with PS etc. these lines sometimes become more apparent and I don't know whether that would be acceptable to those who do know something about photography!

You can find more about 'banding' if it's something you want to fix - this link explains it pretty well - Click here.

Hi Marcus.

If you have a look on the IS-F forum ( here) and scroll down, you'll see a map. Enjoy.

Do you use the Hasselblad for those?

The shot of the SV chasing me down was on the Hasselblad, the rest were on my Nikon D800. The Hasselblad isn't quick enough to get steady shots of a car flying sideways towards you

I was going to say I know that you're good but to produce those on a Hasselblad would be sensational.

Pretty much what it says really ... Why are there so few car related photographs and posts on a vehicle based website.

Granted, but this is a photography forum.
