Correct, either crawling along in D with my foot half on the brake or pushing it in N with the handbrake off. You get the sense of movement from the long shutter speed, the car might only move 0.5-1 meter during the exposure.  :happy2:

Robin... i know what you mean about the lens distortion, even though its only a 24mm lens. I would prefer to use an even wider lens like a 17mm, that way you end up capturing more of the movement. At 650 quid though it wont be on my shopping list anytime soon. :signLOL:

Im pleased you all like the results :notworthy:

Some excellent shots and some excellent photoshopping skills.

Did you use timelapse or wirelesss shutter release to take the pics?
