The Science of Speed

Now why would he have this in the rear veiw mirror

i do exactly the same while driving :)

one friend of mine calls it "the gorilla hand" and does the primate sounds :-)

Boards for an alternate passion?

Absolutely!

i've been trying to do pictures with this setting - have had no luck. lol.

Tigger?

InSaNe Detail!!!!

looks like a cadillac commercial.

adds a nice touch

The Science of Speed by D r e w W i l s o n.

FINALLY got to shoot these photos in a convertible, I've always wanted to. My friend Frank(whom I thank) driving, not me. Simple image I've tried before, just not with the whole convertible situation...

Nice shot Drew, I'm planning to have a go at something similar, but using a Super Clamp (nice and cheap!)

That is a VERY cool shot. I've been wanting to try this myself. It should be easy for me. I can set up the tripod in my living room, and aim the camera towards the steering wheel.
