So as it turns out, photographing moving cars while manually focusing and with relatively little light in the shade is quite hard. This one was quite sharp, but some others failed a bit more


Location is the Twente Rally in the east of the Netherlands

I have done quite a bit of traditional photography back in the day.
This one is one of those move with the car and click and click and click and you get a nice blurred background if your settings are correct.
Back then though, film was super cheap so I could snap off ten photos and it cost me basically nothing.
However, that motion blur is required, and with modern software, you could do that in post-production relatively easily.

Yeah I did that with some digital pictures like the one below, but I didn't often get it right so I was a bit cautious with film.

it sounds very hard, but is it right for the image? i thought the dang car was parked

Yeah getting the motion blur right is quite hard 😅
