hey thanks guys, yeah adric, basically you follow the motion of the car while taking the picture, showing the motion in the background and in the wheels, opposed to waiting for the car to come into frame it will just freeze the objet and not show any motion.
these are just the first set, i can't wait to get out there on wednesdays too. most of these were shot with my new 100 - 300mm lense too.
