There are lots of ways to convey speed;
1. Pan to blur the background.
2. Use slow enough shutter speed, with a stationary camera, to show blurred
object against sharp background.
3. Use a special effects filter to show streaked blurring. Cokin makes them
but the effect is usually somewhat artificial.
4. Select a vantage point where attributes such as chassis roll, tire smoke,
or drift attitude will show stress on the car and/or the driver.
These things all work but they all take lots of practice to get the timing
and lighting right. Those who do it well have all paid their dues.

Mike,
I like your shots very much. Far better than any of my attempts.
Two questions for you and the group - always a problem in my
car/airplane/train photos -
Always the glare from the glass - any reliable way to stop that?
Speed - the cars look like they are posed on the road - how do you convey
speed without compromising sharpness and clarity?
Thanks for answers and thanks for posting the pics - I particularly like the
last (with the red 73, black ?? and silver 181). Why is the black car right
hand drive?
Ric
