Interesting shot. What are those streaks? Long exposure? Welcome to the forums!

Yes, Both those shots were 30 second exposure's at night. The first one was at a strip mall with all the cheesy neon lights to bring out good reflections. The second, the white streaks are from the parking lot lights at my college. For that shot, to get the lines all straight, i turned all the way to the right, and drove in tight circles a few times.

WOW! That's an interesting way to get the shot. I would think the camera would have to be attached to the vehicle for getting the shot in this fashion, but I dont see any rigging?
BTW, WELCOME to the forum Oliver. :D

Thanks. The setup is extremely limiting, i'm building a completely new system, this one could survive a rally race it's so damn sturdy. Bolted in under the car, and 2 support wire's (obviously) that limit camera shake. Alot to PS out, but what are you going to do...

Anyone have any links to site's describing in more detail the suction cup mounting systems people have custom built?

This Guy's Photography (http://www.aznkid.com/motion.php)... is amazing. I've tried to get him to tell me more about his setups, but to no real avail. That first shot of the 350Z is shot with a system attached to the car, and is 10 frickin feet out from the car, and (he claims) that it can be extended out to 20 feet whilst still being mounted to the car. Damn.
