Image 5: Horizontal panoramic image
Motion

I wanted to capture the excitement of Brands Hatch by using rear-sync flash and a longish shutter speed to record the car as a blur followed by a sharp image. I wanted to use the panoramic format to allow some space in front of and behind the car without any distractions above and below it. I am reasonably pleased with this shot given the technical difficulty in getting the timing right but I could have balanced the ambient light and the flash better to show more of the 'speed' blur behind the car.
