I took this shot using a long exposure, changing the zoom setting during exposure. I used a second curtain sync flash to fill in the colour and detail of the car.

I think this concept would have been more powerful if you had a picture from the inside of the car, seeing someone you're about to hit.. but more in a humorous kind of way I guess, otherwise it's just morbid ;) But i like the movement with the lights! Good job :)
This is a really cool effect for fear. It looks like I'm gonna get run over by this car for sure! I also like the way you used your exposure to create the sense of motion and by having the car move backwards to create that feeling... great shot! = 9 - jmsetzler
Cunning! I'm guessing this was done by zooming the lens during exposure? Gives an almosr surreal image - if the front of the car hadn't gone transparent then this would have been very scary!
This is my favourite for the challenge. It matches the theme nicely and is a great capture of fear. I just wonder how it would turn up if you gave it a slight angle, maybe at 45 degrees. Great shot!
This would work better with a camera with reverse curtain sync, or a car that was going backwards (!) - this would mean that the light 'trials' were behind the clear image of the car. Also, centre the car horizontally and make sure it is straight!
