....you've got a new car to shoot pics of and the parking lot is so crowded that you can't get the angle you want? So you park it the best way you can and go across the road to get the shot and then the traffic starts gettin' thick. I give up. I'll just have to wait until tomorrow when we're closed to have the lot to myself I guess.

Thanks. I finally got some good shots after the wind settled down. It almost blew the shop off the back of my truck when I first started trying to get the pics. Got some good race track shots that I'll share a little later.

Thanks Nick, you're no slouch yourself. Wait'll you see the new "at speed" track shot I got today at the test track. I think you'll like it.

I could tell but then I'd have to kill you. But since I can't find my Marvin the Martian U-235 Molecular Disrupter I might as well tell you. :D I just outline the car in PaintShop pro edit and use the motion blur feature with the direction marker in the direction of travel. You can vary the strength of the effect to do different speeds on each car. Sometimes you have to go back and clonebrush the edges to clean it up but it's really pretty easy. Have to be or I couldn't do it, :lol:

Oh thats how you do it !!! I was picturing a complicated system of string, pulleys, and setting your camera to go off at just the right time ;)
