ROLLERS: A Guide to Car to Car Photography

NOTE: If you're asking about where to attach the tether for the harness in the back of your car, I clipped onto a pair of existing D-rings that were bolted to the chassis in the back of the wagon. I am not sure if child seat anchors will support the weight, so you should look for solutions specific to your vehicle about where to attach the tether and harness.

Car-to-car photos: what is it, and where do you start?

There is nothing else quite like the sense of motion, the impact of the car against a moving background. We achieve that sense of motion by shooting at a slow shutter speed, while keeping the subject car as sharp as possible.

Please be safe! I'm not encouraging anyone to do anything dangerous or illegal. This guide is purely for education, and tips to help you shoot better, and safer.
