Absolutely great shots and processing Mike!

Looking over the last pages it makes it really obvious to me that the car shadow is so important - really dislike it when the shadow comes forward towards the lens (backlit) as it sort of works against the perspective of the shot rather than adds to it. 2p thought for the day LOL.

90!!!

That's incredible, they're wonderful photos. I like the one you put on your instagram of the silhouette from the rear of the car.

Impressive! What's the benefit of that over long exposure and 'painting' in the light using flash?

By doing it in several shots, I have total control of the lighting and water, afterwards in photoshop.

Water is very unpredictable in this situation, so the more control you have the better.

First trip to see Rallycross in person today. Some impressive bits of kit and not just in the top class.

Nice shot. That thing sounded utterly immense, although not quite as loud as I was expecting it to.
