He's probably running the shutter speed around 1/250, although that's typically what's needed when you are standing on the side of the road/track, if you're in a "chase car" (which is what those appear to be taken from), you can probably slow that shutter speed down quite a bit (perhaps down to 1/30 if you had to, but it may be a bit blurry).

Give it a try, have somebody else drive the car, hop on the highway and start taking pictures of cars. It would probably be easiest to shoot in a Shutter Priority mode, start at something fast/slow and work your way to the other end of the range.

Do a forum search for 'panning', because that's what this technique is called.

Difficult thing on the A series would be focus ... so use hyperfocal technique and MF ... and practise a lot.

Best regards,

PS: Actually, you could also just drop Blinking8s a boardmail, judging from the copyright on the shots, he was the one who took them :lol:
