Looks really good

I like number 2 or number 3 best. I like the composition of number 2 but i like the color of number 3.

Very cool

yes 2 and 3 are my faves
in 3 i think i had just turned the xenons on as the picture was being taken - hence the greeny looking light

as ive said this is just basic work with no real thought behind it

using a point n shoot camera

just need to experiment a bit more (understatement of the year)

Dont knock yourself too much....these are great motion pics for a first attempt. You shoulda seen my first motion shots


I think the part that i like about number 2's composition is the amount of ground you can see under the side skirt. Number 3 is a nice angle, but i think the amount of "road" in number 2 is VERY nice.

Now that i look at it again, i really like the last one. It's really action packed, and the crazy scribles that the lights make on the car are excellent :smile:

edit: did you have your wheels painted or are they new? I just realized the old silver ones werent in the photots :lol Looks good

Very nice work!!! 2 is my favorite...the reflections, the acute angle, and the overall contrast range are nice (seems to show up every paint imperfection, though). The nav screen seems distracting. Your wheels are perfect for this.

I like #2 the best. The composition exposes a somewhat sureal juncture of time and space. Note the reflection in the rearview mirror, the navigation light, the highlighting of the curves of the bonnet with refective light, the angle of the front tire and the blurr of the rest of the world in lights. There is a cynergy of motion that seems to harness life itself.


Excellant. You have a sense uncommon for your experience.

I wish you well. Please keep us abreast of you pics.

cheers for the comments guys
yea my paintwork in No.2 has seen better days :( - thats auto car wash venues for you!

My rims used to be Keskin 17"x8"

I went through a period of wanting to sell the car so sold my modifications .....then wanted to keep it :D.....so modded again!

These rims are 18"x7.5" BK 299 in Black (not Hyper Black-yuck ) - these have only just come out over here.

Those are really good. Just a quick question though, how did you do it? where the backgrounds different shots and the photoshopped in? No? Basically I want to know how you can got the background and the wheels to blur with out having the Mini blurred. I've seen this done a couple times and I'm really really curious. Do you somehow attach the camera to the car?

Those are both some amazing shots. I must admit I am very jealous. I wish I could shoot like that. Maybe after a few more years of tinkering around with my camera I can get it down.
