Nice Pathfinder. Is this bruski? Looks very similar to the shot Cruzin'. Great clarity and color. As a car guy, I love everything about it.

Under-rated shot - I like the B&W contrast and don't think the background is too busy. It gives it an old-world, timeless feel.

This is my Mazda6 in front of a neon store front in a mall parking lot. I wanted to try something similar to Cruzin' by bruski and Speed Demon by cooliak.

I had to use the 10 second delay, press the shutter, run around, jump in the car, drive, stop and repeat. My camera doesn't have a remote but in the future I could use a USB cable to connect it to a laptop for remote shooting (if I had a laptop). That would be ideal, then I could just drive around and shoot.

I didn't want to mount to any body panels or anything that was painted. I looked underneath and found a vertical bracket attached to the frame, bought slotted angle iron and mounted a 4 foot bracket. It could use some improvement since many shots were blurry and it whips a little.

Because the bracket had some flex to it, I did have to find smooth pavement and drive slow. The hardest part was finding interesting lights with little to no traffic around (so as not to whack the camera hanging 4 feet out). This was shot at about 5mph.

Setup 1
Setup 2

Thanks to everyone who commented and took the time to vote. I hope to improve on this type of shot in the future.

Yes it is but I find the lighting a little harsh. There's nothing here to really hold my interest.

Wow, great shot. The streetlights and reflections of streetlights are great.

Comment:
Nice perspective. I know Shelbys typically are blue but I think a change to red or another color would help contrast it with the sky.

Great double meaning title. You might consider bumping the contrast a little but that might hurt the soft feeling of the image, if indeed that was the intent.

OK, but what are you trying to convey to the viewer? ...besides that you or someone is sitting in a Ferrari. The shot doesn't hold my interest very long. Including more of the dashboard might help.
