this took me a lot of shots and a lot of playing with the shot......
if i had a better interior itd be better, id love to take a shot of someones car like this with a real nice custom interior

[RaymondXTi]

I love it!

Very cool!!

I like the idea, but I feel it is missing something, perhaps the driver's hands on the wheel. (unless of course it is a remote control car) :)

20 seconds... wow

firm grip!

Hmmmmm neat idea, I might try and do something this weekend of the sort. Tripod in the back seat + wired shutter release should make for an interesting outcome.

lol the rpm gauge shows 0

[DonJuanMair]

lol about the rpm, yeah i think my car is kinda broke at the moment too.
I drove for about 10 miles and took about 50 shots just to get it right. I realised after i should have wore black pants. So i made the levels with me lower. Otherwise i would have been distracting.
Thanks everyone for the comments!

That's a REALLY awesome shot and I REALLY want to try it! Do you mind sharing the details on the setup as to how you completed this? How did you secure the camera?

[DonJuanMair]

well i have an RX8 so there wasnt too much space in the back, i just got the tripod in between the front two seats and adjusted the head so that it was centre of the car, then attached it and set the arpeture to f6.1 and then got my remote shutter amd just drove and shot......
Thank you btw :)

I think this shot turned out really nice, if the interior was more "custom" it would just be to flashy, this is a good blend of flashy and tasteful!

Good work!
