Great shot, I like the movement.

I always wanted a Kharman Ghia, especially one as shiny as that. Am sure I would have looked as cool as this driver with the arm on the sill. Great panning shot!

personally, if you were to make a wallpaper of any recent shots, this would be my pick ;)

i'm really enjoying the pan shots of the city when they pop up now and then. being an old car nut makes this photo one of my favorites, and reason to comment for the first time!

How nice, this car brings a lot of memories of my own childhood back! Very good shot!

I love the light of this picture and the guy attitude that fits perfectly well with the move. Very nice picture...I like this style.

great captured speed.

OH! this is great shot. amazing

Nice Carman Gia! Love the color of the car, but it could be sharper..
Not a easything panning ;)

rectification: it should be a VW Karmann Ghia. Thanks!

Nice panning with veautiful red color and nice motion.

love this - the red car stands out really well against the blurred city backdrop! cheers :)

A vintage Kahrmann... Nice. And in good shape.
Beautiful car.

Wonderful shot. And a stunning car as well. The Volkswagen Karmann Ghia is a true classic.

What strikes me as amazing is how the sharpest part of your panning car shots seems to always be the driver or passenger (thinking back to the recent photo of the girl in the back of the jeep). Great!

Great panning shot! Beautiful tones...

Astounding, I am always awestruck by your images. I can't even grasp being able to do this with my own photography, alas!

It's a car!

sam, just curious - how many hits does you blog get per day?

I wonder how long you waited till you saw an interesting car like that come by. Great pic as usual.

Sam. You are amazing! How in creation you can get to take a VW Karmann Ghia picture just like that - no arranging for it to come for you, it just does.

After all, how many of these cars exist in Toronto? Or anywhere now?

Well the driver may be sharp, but too dark for me to know if this is my ol' friend in Toronto, who once had one of these and just might have refurbished it.

I've always coveted a Ghia.

I really like the brightness against the speeding background. I think the movement of the car is really enhanced by the fuzzy edges of the car.

Super cool color contrast.

Very cool shot Sam.

Very suitable post considering the opening of Pixar's Cars in theatres today. :D

Great shot! Cool car. It's red, tee hee!!! Weee!

looks good! might have to give panning a go!!! Now to find some decent looking cars!!!

Interesting shot. The red car really fits in the middle of the image and the motion around works very well. Kudos!

just like the other one...

Your panning images are great! I love that little red car.

What a fantastic, fantastic shot! It's my computer wallpaper right now - please post a larger version of it!

You make the car look fast as they were dreadfully slow and could be beaten by your average hyundai today

The sense of motion is so well captured here, and the contrast really makes this foto pop.

:) love the color.

Sam, I already posted on this picture once, but I just wanted you to know. I used this photo in my Digital Photography class to show the Elements & Principles of photography. The teacher required us to pick one of our favorite photos, and this is by far one of my favorite. The teacher was even quite taken back by how amazing the photo is. Keep it up, you inspire me GREATLY!
