I know this is not original but I've wanted to do this for ages! Hopefully it will be original in this challenge as I expect there will be lots of night shots / water shots. I took one a few weeks ago but I think this is even better with no editing :)
This is me in my Westfield SEiW, the car weighs about 550kgs and has a 2 litre vauxhall engine that outputs 215 bhp which makes it very fast :)
Taken in tv @ 1/20 with the lens @ 11mm. The camera is screwed to the roll bar with a manfrotto clamp, remote shutter to the camera which is set to a 2s delay so I can get both hands on the wheel :) I set the camera settings to higher contrast and saturation.
I was doing about 30mph but the speedo was reading zero as it's a little temperamental!

Really cool shot and I was really curious how it was done. To be a little nit picky (and that's all it is) too bad the left hand mirror wasn't turned to show the road. I am guessing its set just fine for driving though. (Safety first of course!)
someone is on the 'wrong' side of the road - I think I may have to give this a 1 because this was obviously flipped...
Actually, this is very cool (not just the car) but the shot - the way the blur of the road makes this seem to be speeding around the gentle curves - and how the car is perfectly in focus. Real score: 8
Well if the challenge was to make me feel sick then yoiu just took the blue!!
The movement is amazing. It honestly makes me feel like i'm zooming along on a rollercoaster.
Nice Westfield! Similar shot to my PB in Acronyms so I know how hard these are. Westfield have a great tripod stabaliser in the boot box and roll bar though don't they! I look forward to seeing your details after the challenge but congrats on a lovely motion shot on a road Westfields are made for!
