Amateur equiptment, point and shoot. still learning and experimenting. Want to work on getting a longer rig to get the whole car in the frame.

good work for your first attempt! How fast were you going? And can you find out what the shutter speed was? good clarity on the car for being a P&S!

we were going about 2 mph with a shutter of 4-5 seconds.

That's really cool!! nice work. I like the idea of using a light P&S camera, rather than hanging my heavy and expensive 30D over the road like that.

nice work... maybe you should have put the rig out the other side, where the light is coming from?

oh yeah, duh, i should have shot the lighted side. like i said, 1st rough try.

the rig is literally a camera tripod. looks hilarious.

Thats a cool idea... just need to find a way to extend it out more or get a super wide lens for your p&S ;)

Nice pix! Is that some kind of industrial suction cup on the one leg of the tripod?
