Tried these motion shots, which one do you think works best?

supa-dupa-cooper · Jan 5th, 2008, 04:45 PM

The top one

neilobe · Jan 5th, 2008, 06:02 PM

Top One here too..

minisoopercooper · Jan 5th, 2008, 06:06 PM

I like all of them but (and don't take this the wrong way) but you in the wing mirror is too distracting - taking your attention away from the rest of the great picture. think everyone has chosen pic one for that very reason - it's the least distracting one.

They are great pics though. I assume you have a suction mount and a infra red firing device?

Thanks guys, I thought the top one as well but I had a comment about there being a better sence of movement in the middle one.

The original concept was for an unusual self portrait which is why my ugly mug is in the mirror.
I used a suction cup and a 10sec self timer, had to jump in quick and start driving.

top one! great pics!

JAMIE1131 · Jan 6th, 2008, 07:03 PM

great pics, I'd love to try something like that but I'd be very nervous of mounting my camera on by suction and then driving around with it! what mount do you use?

Sorry for the slow reply, I'm working night shift in Spain and PC access is a bit limited!

I used a Cullman suction cup, we use them at work to hold equipment onto the windscreen when we are testing, they are pretty strong.
The other thing is the car was only in first gear at idle running, it looks fast because I used a long exposure

Are you working at a test track? we do a lot of testing in Spain.

Yep, I'm at IDIADA at the moment, looks like tonight will be a blow out quite literally, high wind speed and a bit of rain!

Based near Millbrook in the UK, guess you use MIRA in the UK, I haven't been there for a long time, who you working for if you don't mind me asking.

We use Idiada a lot, actually we have a permanent facility there! MIRA is okay but the weather sucks! I work for Triumph!

Cool, yes UK weather sucks but we are hitting about 10m/s wind speed out here tonight, once we have finished last nights data we will probably give up on this shift. Still, it's unusual for here!

I work for Nissan, I knew a guy who went to Triumph from here, Andy Jones, don't know if he is still there, do you know him?

JAMIE1131 · Jan 12th, 2008, 11:12 AM

Yep I know Andy! He left Triumph a couple of months ago to go and work for a truck company called Hendrickson. We were working on the same design team.
