Yellow Porsche (Motion Photography)

[Dima]

I shot this in a basement parking lot with my canon g11, (if it was shot in broad daylight it would be a little over exposed,) plus the lighting in the parking lot added a nice effect as you can see ..

So while in a passenger's seat, Set your camera to Tv mode ( Or S) and set the shutter speed to 1 second (you could go further but it depends on how still you can remain, but one second seems like the best setting).. and set the lowest ISO setting ( for me it was 80), and the focal length was 6 mm.

Extra Tip: try shooting this image as the car is making a u turn or anything instead of driving in a straight line, it will add more motion in less time, and you will get a nicer effect than straight line.. it all depends on your taste..

Hope you get good results! If i wasnt clear in anything tell me this is my first how i took it post ..

PP: levels, and i removed the reflection of my self in the mirror for privacy.

Wonderful shot. If only the sideview mirrow was clean, it would have been perfect!

OH YES! I was not driving ;-) thats what is wrong there

Porsche Carrera (type 997), Speed yellow with brown natural leather interior, hmmm, not the ideal colour combination, but a nice shot

Very cool for sure, but...I have to agree with pAthdoc about the cleaning issue

looks good! i tried something similar with a "fat gecko" mount that i suctioned onto the side of my car. i used a 10-20mm lens for this ...

The OP's shot would have been better slightly higher and positioned to the left so as to catch the slope/bump of the rear fender in the mirror.
