The key to this one is to turn at a constant rate, holding the front wheel at the same angle, might be hard to do while pushing the car. I agree though that I'll need to need to do some trial and error to figure out how to get the shot without the brake lights.
It shouldn't be hard on a flat surface, and at the angle you shot the pic you won't see the person pushing the car, also what you could try is turning the wheel how you want it then shutting the car off and lock the steering wheel, then push it and take the pic!

Great pics BTW!

Sick shots marcus. If you're not gonna push the car and you want to slow down, try putting it into neutral and using the parking brake. Pull it up gently so it doesnt shake the camera. (of course, this is assuming all the car you shoot is a 6mt. lol). 5at have a foot pedal for the ebrake i believe so I don't know what you would do there).

Thanks, I'll try and push the car in neutral in the future. If I don't end up pushing it then I'll try the e-brake technique. Thanks for the suggestion.

30 secs is way too long, that's why your front wheels are blurry. Most of the exterior shots seem a bit soft for me, maybe because you were doing them in HDR way. But the backdrop is pretty nice

30 seconds is much longer than I would set out to do the rig shot. The reason for the long exposure was to be able to drive the car slow enough to get a good shot and get the light trails all the way around the car.

The exteriors did come out a bit soft in some of the shots, that is due to them being HDR. I also plan on providing the owner with a few non-HDR shots too, haven't gotten to those yet.

I checked out your webiste, very nice work.
