My wife has asked for a new desktop to show her new toy, sorry car Wink

This is on a back road near home, I was trying to get the impression of speed, I set rear curtain flash on the camera.

I'm quite pleased with the outcome, for my first attempt of such a technique. I got the movement in the car - but the flash gave the sharpness I was after for the front grill, headlamps etc.

The only alterations I made (other than the usual levels / curves) was to give it the "Top Gear" treatment for the sky.

***NOTE Looks much better large Smile ****

Technical Details

1/50th Sec @F16 with rear curtain fill in flash (-1.0)

Excellent image has a great sense of motion to it well done. And the car's not too bad as well.

Thanks for all the comments - I'm quite pleased with it, and it looks good in B&W as well, I might post that one in the future.
