 RC car stuck to a ruler with camera clasped by hand at other end. Moved ruler with both items steadied and used self-timer with exposure of 1/16 sec.

I activated remote control with other hand to make rear wheels spin and suggest a donut action.

I was hunting this shot down through pages of results. I thought this would at least end up in the top 20. I find it all the way here on Page 13.

Honestly.... much better than my own shot. It should have scored higher. Very "unique". Good Technique

And I Agree with Ursula' P.S comment. ;)

Wow, lovely picture, and the way you made it is really interesting. You're so good at this.

PS - you should have had a drop of something on it to score higher.

dood this completely rocks. i thought about your skateboard from the feet challenge when i first saw it. very imaginative, and well executed.

that and RC Race cars are really cool. thank goodness i have a four year old and can justify playing with them

no clue why this finished here...only two things that i can think of would be 1) to have shot it on an angle, and 2) to have had richer colors in the background. i loved the shot.

Nice blurred background. Would have been nice if the front of the car was in focus.

Very cool. Great feeling of motion, enhanced by the attenna and the flames paint job. Good job. Must have been a small tripod. Haha.

Excellent work with this, really great shot. I'm worried to say this after the thread about over-processing but I feel a slight application of USM would do this shot some good.

Good shot. It doesn't look like the car's front wheel is moving so I'm guessing the car wasn't driving around.
