My Type R - Faster than the Speed of Light
Well at least with the camera shudder speed set to 15 seconds. My friend Adam and I took these last night. I'll try to perfect the shots tonight. It was more or less experimentation since it was our first time trying to capture these types of night pictures. Sorry for the slow server speed. 
Just a reminder: Trevor's group buy for the Philips HID kit is in the best buy forum.

Re: My Type R - Faster than the Speed of Light (yellow blur)
How do you make it so that you can have a still image and that stream of light?

Great pictures though.

(2) Set your shutterspeed to 10, 15 seconds then pan with the car driving by. What I mean is keep the car in the same position in the frame, while the background moves. This will take a bit of practice to get it right, but it should look really nice.
(3) Photoshop.

2. Have the chase vehicle match the speed and direction of the lead car.
3. Take picture
(all steps above are easier said than done)
If the lead vehicle moves in exact relation to the chase vehicle with the camera, while driving down the road, the lead vehicle will have a crisp/clear appearance while the surrounding building/lights/cars will streak or blur in the picture. Realize that there are dozens of factors that play an important role with the picture such as shudder speed and lens diameter settings.

(1) To do that you have to have a camera that allows you to take two pictures on one exposure. Basically you take the first picture with the shutter speed set to 10, 15 secs, whatever you like. Then drive the car by again and take the picture with a much faster shutterspeed. That is one way.

Wow, that sounds like you are making it more difficult than it needs to be.

Re: My Type R - Faster than the Speed of Light (yellow blur)
I believe that shot of Dado's car is a clip from one of the digital movies done by DVinsight.com, most likely they took the same clip of the car driving by, and used a program like Adobe Aftereffects on one of the clips to get the streak effect. They could then overlay the streaked clip over the first clip and designate the transparent area of the overlayed clip. Then they just take a snap shot of the final video.

i've done the ten to fifteen seconds shutter speed with a decent aparture setting
but i've gotten some of my coolest picts by going to the smallest aparture, like 1.8 and keeping the shutter open about 45 seconds, u'll get a couple cars passing by, or just some really odd ****. u can have u're r going and coming back...
its definatly worth a try
