Screw you Dan Everything has clarity at that size.
But seriously nice pics Yuki. I like the one looking back from the Exige best.

Here are some of mine
The last one's a little blurry but I still like it

Brian, are those pictures from an event or did you just happen to see them go by? They look good, especially the maroon Vette. I think they are a little too blurry, maybe just lower the exposure a little. I was experimenting with those kinds of shots when I first got my camera. I think I went up to 1/10th of a second, which was way too long.

A couple still turned out decently, but I can only find one.

Your S2000 picture looks great! I certainly get a feeling of speed in that one.

All of those cars just happened by when I was taking pictures, but it is in an area that on a nice day you see lots of nice cars around. I believe I was shooting 1/30 s with an ISO of 400 for those. The larger sizes seem more crisp, apparently some of the image was dulled when I resized it down.

Check out the larger WRX here:

and the larger Vette here:

The motion blur is still a work in progress for me, I just got a camera capable of doing this stuff last week. I am having fun practicing on cars passing by though.

Thanks! And yeah your pictures do look better bigger. Does your camera actually have a special motion blur feature? Or are you just panning..?

Just panning. I have found that it is easiest to pan at full zoom (200 mm lens in those pictures) and get pretty far back. The speed limit is 45 on that road, so it makes it much easier for me to set up away from the road, zoom all the way out and pan with the vehicles.

Yes, they do look good on the wall. I have the hi-res files if you want them. They look pretty good blown up to 30x22.
