 My Lexus, taken with my automobile/camera rig. I was in the back of this moving vehicle with the hatch open, extending my rig out and firing the shutter with a wireless remote.

Shot totally in manual mode, with plenty of bracketing. I initially thought I would shoot in shutter priority mode, but I didn't want such a large aperture.

This one's outstanding. Love the "risking life and limb" component of it. Certainly nails the challenge theme in a fairly off the wall way. I'm surprised it didn't finish a bit higher. I really have no nits here. Good work.

This is a really impressive image, the logistics of this are scary. I just car trust my camera would stay.
Brilliant. this would also work well as a HDR image.
