A friend of mine has several RC cars, so today he took them out for a spin while I photographed it.

This is just one out of almost 40 pictures. The rest can be seen here. The last five or so are quite interesting :P The shutter speed of those images with the wheel were 1/6000s and still the wheel was blurry due to its motion.

The lens I used was my newly acquired SMC Pentax DA* 60-250mm ED F4 [IF] SDM (unboxing video). Several of the images are cropped a lot to get the composition I wanted to present, so the lens is plenty sharp!

NOTE: The shutterspeed is 1/2500s. It wasn't in the list of available shutterspeeds in the form.

Wow, thats a really cool shot. I use to have one of these things but it broke some time ago and I never got a new one to replace it. I like that you were able to get a fast shutter speed to freeze the water like that.

Thanks for sharing,

Neat - the first time I've every seen a car throwing a rooster tail!
