How do you take pictures like this ?

[HIM]

well, I've heard of people panning along with the moving object but its really hard... I saw one of Wynn's pictures from tUNINGwERKS like that and supposidly he panned along with the car.. but I'm probably wrong cause i'm not educated enough about this hehe

These kind of pictures aren't panning, they are shot at low lights which requires a very slow shutter speed. THey are with rigs, and yes you can just photoshop the rig out if you know what yo are doing, you just use the clone brush and clean it up.

where's gamite? .. he'll settle this debate.

that pic posted at the top was a rig.

while we are on this topic, how do you take a picture like when a car is driving by and just the the lights, so you don't see the actual car you see the road and the red behind it??

slower shutter speed

photoshop has a filter called motion blur......u can use it to blur out the background...

I suck at photoshop, but i did this something like it...altou i used a circlur blur, which isn't as reallife looking, but looks cool none the less

look at the BMWFilms movies, they have a ton of camera rigs that they photoshop out and everything is moving.

that is one way, but the reflections on the car aren't moving

There ARE some set ups that use a remote though correct? Someone was telling me that.

Most of the pictures you see,. they don't drive the car, they just push it, and with a 5 sec or higher shutter speed, just walking speed is enough to get a nice motion blur, and the camera doesn't shake becuz the engine isn't running.

I saw a book at Borders Book Store called "How to Photograph Cars: An Enthusiast's Guide to Equipment and Techniques". They explained everything and some tricks. Also what kind of equipment you should use.
