it's a Williams F1 car doing a major burnout, perfectly captured with billows of smoke, slightly off-skew and filling the screen. Truly one of the best automotive action pictures I have ever seen.
Thanks! Don't know why you can't see it Mrs Fish. Maybe a refresh will help.
Cheers

Ah, I'll hopefully be able to see it at work tomorrow then

Right click on the red cross and copy the URL address into your address bar. Messy way , but it will then work
I tried that but still couldn't get it to work
never mind, I'm sure I'll be able to see it at work Pbrett - also love the motorbike one, lovely panning shot as well as your stunning Williams one.
Gravymaster - top pics as usual you talented b
r. The two I love best are the F40 and the Viper badge. Just shows what you can do when isolating part of the subject.
One of the things I have been trying to capture is the feeling of movement and the joy of driving. You know the type of shot that coveys exactly what the driver was feeling at the time. I think this one will take a long time to get the "right" shot.
Two I took when I had the Lotus are;
Taken on a D100 with 20mm lens. The whole camera and lens was clamped to the top of the front windscreen of the Elise. Shutter speed set at 1/15th and appeture left to do it's own thing. Then fired from a remote release as I drove along about 40-50mph.
The other is;
Taken in a similar manner, D100 with 20mm lens. Now clamped to the wing that supports your shoulders on the passenger seat. Again fired on a remote release with a 3 second self timer delay. It's grainy and not sharp but goes some way to conveying what it's like to slice down a country lane at night.
So the challenge to all shuterheads is movement & emotion

CVP, When I first saw your pictures I thought the subject was excellent but was the concerned as to the safety behind them. I guessed you must have chosen a quiet bit of road and driven very slowly and just made it look quicker. However, you did better than that!
What clamp are you using?
BTW: I really like the grainy night shot. I think that the grain adds more of a reality sense to the picture.
What I mean is that it adds a feel of being there.
I think that adding noise sometimes works better than sharpness.
This is a fellow PHer with his lucky mascot just prior to blasting his Nos Cerbera up the drag strip and winning
He hates the photo so I have hidden his identity (not very well!).

That Williams burnout picture rocks more than The Rock, rocking back and forward on a rocking horse eating a stick of rock.
In the Rockingham Rock Festival in the Chinese year of the Rock!
What a great critic you are going to be
(Couldn't have said it better myself. Its fantastic
