Well, heres another shot of my car. I know its not really perfect.. But tell me what ya'll think.. Thank you.

That's pretty cool. Different angle than we usually see. I don't know how you mounted the camera, but if you could get it a bit further out so it shot more broadside to show more of the car front end this would really be a winner. Nice job, though and you have given me some cool ideas!

juxtapositional....background moving, but building in the reflections perfectly still....

Thank you very much. Hmmm yeah, thats thing, I need a better rig set up so that the composition will be better.. But for this shot, since my car is a sedan, I asked my younger brother to take the shots with him sticking his body out the window. But dont worry guys, it was in a private parking lot and was just goin 5MPH.. I just put it on slow shutter.. But thank you again!

wow you caught that. very good eye! yeah, the photo was manipulated a little bit in photoshop.. but it was on the slowest shutter. I guess the focus was on the car, to the point that it didnt blur the building on the window of my car...

Additionally, the wheel doesn't appear to have been in motion. It is a pretty cool shot though.

hmm so should I go faster so that the wheel would be more blurry?.. because I was only goin 5MPH..

Yes. Keep accelerating until your brother screams at you to slow down.

if im not mistaken, i think he told me before that he had a rig with suction cups.... hmmm and now i know too, so that there is no reflection on my window, i should role it down..

i played around with your image a little bit, i thought it made it more "dramatic". i got rid of the house (and your face, not sure if you wanted it or not) as well. let me know what you think, and i cant tweak it some more to your liking!
