Nice! Looks real clean! Looks like pictures they would put on a Mitsubishi Ad.

thanks for the compliments.


I messed with the aperture setting to get the distant blur.

Good work sway. This is so easy to do and it makes such an impact...a very nice compliment to static/parked shots. (hint hint Vegasboy )

Lancerguy'03: The camera typically focuses on the object in the center of the shot. The blur is a result of long shutter openings. Shooting in darker conditions can make a cheaper point-and-shoot camera run long shutter. (late day/cloudy) Most modern digital cameras should allow you to play with the shutter speed. Try speeds of about 1/90, 1/60, 1/30th or even slower for more effect. HOLD YOUR CAMERA VERY STILL during these longer exposures.

Messing with the aperture indirectly affects the shutter speed when the camera is in an "Aperture Priority" mode, but you can control it better if you put it in a "Shutter Priority" mode and let the camera handle the aperture setting. (what camera was used?)

Just keep tinkering with it. Cool thing about it, you can practice anywhere. Just riding passenger down the road, you can practice this tracking photo style like you have here. That's all I did and now I make a living taking pictures...pays for my Evo and mods.

Damn nice pics! Nice car, and nice photography skills!

So, did you let someone else drive your car while you took the pics?
