2 second exposure at f8 ISO 200 but with a 3-stop ND filter. I learned from the Mustang shot that 1/10 sec wasn't slow enough.

Cool I will have to try this. I bought a ND filter over the winter for my wide angle but not dark enough for this type of shot.
2 seconds is a long time in a moving car, but it looks really good.

This will give me a reason to use that gorilla-pod hidden away in my camera bag.

Thanks for the tip.

Hahaha... I borrowed a Parnelli Jones trick he mentioned during an interview. You brace your left elbow against the car door and keep it there, locking the wheel... still I didn't get it perfect for the whole exposure duration, notice slight blur which in retrospect compliments the shot. Camera was triggered by a PocketWizard held in my left hand - notice the pilot light?
