Always wondered how pictures like the one above were taken. Do they use 2 vehicles, a skateboard, bicycle?

Anyone off hand know of how these shots, or shots similar to these are taken?

I think that would be a still state picture, which was chopped to show movement. a picture like that could be taken but it would need some good equipment and a really good hand.

im gonna say still pic, then photoshopped. by the angles of the wheels in that pic it would meen he is going to be doing about 90 into that building.

Hmm interesting... Well I just scored myself a new digital camera window mount, so I'm going to have to give motion shots a whirl this year.

steve demmitt has tried to keep the way he takes these pics to himself, but its not a still picture edited in photoshop. the way you normally get that kinda effect is by using a rig with a camera mount and then photoshop out the bars of the rig, i dont think it is possible to get the car that sharp and the background blured by taking the picture from another car unless you are really lucky.

I thought it could be done by panning but i think it would be difficult to do it at that angle and steve has said it was not done by panning.

Yeah I was reading on H-T that Steve doesn't want his little secret to get out.

I guess its a good thing, because it makes it his own.

most photographer wont give out the secrets as its not just a hobby for them its also the way they make money and dont want everyone playing out the shots. Im about to start building a camera rig to take these kind of photo's. first i need to find a company to insure my camera and lenses before i try it
