Awesome picture competition...

[Biga]

Guy Martin recreated Steve McQueen's Bud Ekins' jump from The Great Escape.

Did he land it? Where can I find the clip of the landing?

So do you think Bud practiced jumps in to foam pits on Triumphs with crummy suspensions?

If foam pits had existed in '62, I bet he would have.

unreal pic

Why do some parts of the car have motion blur and some don't?

 

[DannoXYZ]

What parts?

Pan blurs background and keeps car sharp.
Pan doesn’t steady spinning wheels though. So wheels and brakes show motion blur.

 

[ctwo]

The front and back edges, and little white bits sticking up seem to have a short trail, but the adverts and center of the car are sharp.

 

[CDONA]

Color & shape, way more "exotic" than the eggplant emoji.
I don't know why the long stalk, this would't fit in my pressure cooker.

 

[Kornholio]

It would if you trimmed the stalk off.

The panning shot of a high speed car or bike is probably one of the most difficult shots to take. Not only will the camera pick up sideways motion, it will pick up vertical motion as well, whether from the subject or the photographer....

That shot is pretty awesome.

They don't call him "Shakey" Byrne for nothing.

That's a lovely photo. You don't know whether he's the master of early on the throttle or .2 seconds away from disaster, lol.

I suppose you all might like this one too.


As always, linky behind picture.

Any chance you would part with a high rez version of this?

Wow! Thank you for even asking.

Gentlemen, it is an HDR of 5 images taken in high wind and does not have the sharpness that I would consider worthy of printing.

It makes a good image for the screens, but I'm afraid a print would expose all the flaws.
