Awesome, I have to get me one these. How are you firing the camera though, and what settings are you using as you obviously can't adjust the shots on the fly.

I assume you set your focus point first then go on the move.

well with these shots they are in manual focus so before i set off i get the car in focus, Ive just bought a wireless remote so i have a remote that fires the camera which is cool and cost about £20 setting wise is in shutter priority ISO 100 and been playing with different exposures between 2.4 and 6 seconds think the longer the exposure the more blur dependign how fast the car crawls forward but the only problem with the long exposures is the picture might allso get over exposed, i was shooting these in a underground car park as i tried some in the day light and htey were just too bright, waiting for my ND filter to come through and then try some outdoor ones :) but I love the Rig cost £325 but worth it !!

I'll have to buy a longer remote.

The contrast on those two shots is exceptional though, but I can imagine the longer exposures are going to be tricky. I generally shoot all my motorsport stuff with a polarizer as it cuts out the reflection and makes cars appear clearer as you can see through windows etc. This takes it down a couple of stops so may be ideal for this sort of thing.

Out of interest, which polariser filter do you have?
