Title: Warp Speed Monster
Post by: NFG on April 06, 2010, 05:03:06 AM
I've been meaning to try this out for a while now, and today it kind of came together.  The end result did NOT please my wife, but I'm pretty stoked:

pardon me if I'm wrong, but Doesn't the speedo read about 70kms/hr or so? or is it just my eyes

If 70kms/hr is warp speed i'd hate think what 170kms/hr is.( hyperdrive maybe?)

Great pic NFG.
Saw something very similar recently, wanted to go out and do it but ya beat me too it.
Do I imagine you were using a cable release?
Title: Re: Warp Speed Monster

No cable release, just a 20 second timer and plenty of stops on side roads.  Press button, vroom, SNAP, <repeat>.

The camera's self-timer options are, IIRC, 2, 5, 10 and 20 seconds.  I set it to 20 so I'd have time to get up to speed and line it up, but 10s is all I really needed.
