Default Cool Mazdaspeed6 Pic

Cool, I didn't know there was a gallery section. I guess I haven't been here in a while.

Here's an awesome Mazdaspeed6 pic

that is nice, I always wonder how they get pictures like that. kinda hard to get that angle on a moving car. I always like pictures like that, a nice moving car that is in good sharp focus, and the background is just blurred by speed.

I wonder if it's photo skill, or photoshop skill.

I know you can focus on particular object, while the rest is blurry, but it looks too perfect.

Maybe someone that knows how to use a camera could shed some light

i consider myself somewhat talented with a camera. and I have done my fair share of photoshop work. while I suspect there is some post process work done, it looks like a real image, and not a composite. the reflections on the car match the setting really well, and if you look through the windows, the trees are back there, and they look like they match up too.

now, there has probably been some added blur, which helps the front end pop out like it does, and have that really sharp, clean image. i say that, becuase a really small f stop, say f2.5 or something in that range, yields such a small depth of field, but in this pic, the car has good focus down the length of it, and up to the roof. You would also need a shorter exposure, which would stop capture the road and background better, becuase there is too much light there to have a small f stop, and a slow shutter speed. that would mean that they had to use a larer f stop, to gain the larger DOF.

I just want to know what kind of photography rig they used, I am sure there was a lead car, but how did they get that low to the tarmac?

lol, sorry. camera speak. a lot goes into creating a nice picture, and even more goes into one that has a nice sharp picture of a car, and a nice blurry background. I am still learning.

That is a great pic. I too know nothing about cameras so I'm lost as well. I would like to learn though, I take lots of pics, they should at least be decent enough to look back on over the years

I'm thinking bumpercam taking a pic of the 6, and then lots of post-editing

Makes all the motion make sense w/the car clear, and still motion on the wheels look right, and the reflections on the car itself, let alone the view thru the window looking believable.

my main reasoning is the reflection on the car door look slightly sharper than the regular landscaping, w/out distorting the car's body panels... so the car is moving, and in the right place... just not going as fast as it looks in the pic... blur the landscape a tad more, and it makes the car look like its going a bajillion miles an hour

I had no idea this pic would cause such a debate

FWIW, I can't take a pic to save my life, so I just like to look at them!
