 A stunt show at Disney-MGM Studios in Disney World. This car was actually traveling backward, so it was just about to land.

We later learned that the driver is actually facing toward the back end, so he's looking forward while the car appears to go backward. They even go so far as to have a fake face in the back of his helmet to sell the idea it's going backward.

Nice clear focus and exposure. I was a little puzzled by the smoke coming from the front of the car until I read your comment. I really like the bicycles in the background.

I can't believe someone gave you a 1 on this! Nice entry and you got robbed on the score. This should have easily been over a 6. Wonderful colors, beautiful editing.

Cool shot Jeffrey. You captured this well. It's interesting what they go through to get what they want.

Hiya, Jeffrey, I wondered how this was done! Very creative, looks totally real (I guess it is real, just in a "fake" setting!) Nice OOB entry for sure.

I am not keen on the computer-generated look.

ha. I smiled. great idea.
did you try a slightly slow shutter for a hint of motion? I bet panning would have been an awesome effect too.

Nice capture. I also would have liked to see it from underneath revealing the further car in the negative space.
