Super Shockwave

[RVT1000]

Hello,
I'm new to the forum and am interested in hearing some opinions. Thanks.

This was taken at Lebanon Valley's "Night of Fire" in 2009.

Nice shot. I like the panning effect and the flames.

Thank you. This shot was a little tough to take mostly because it was getting dark but that is when the flames show up the best. I wanted to capture a feeling of speed by allowing some background blurring but I wanted the truck to be very sharp. The photo was taken with the following parameters:
Nikon D40
Shutter Priority
F/5
1/200 sec
ISO-400
