Description
Vintage porsche 911 racing is the whole subject here: two 911s side by side and close enough to touch, the road under them pulled into streaks while the cars themselves stay sharp.
Two cars in one frame is much harder than one. The photographer has to hold both at the same distance and the same instant, and if the pan drifts even slightly the second car smears. That it worked is why this frame has depth rather than the flatness of a single subject cut out of its background.
Vintage porsche 911 racing, two cars in one pan
It is a wide, low composition with strong horizontal movement, so it belongs on a wide wall. Above a sideboard, a workbench or a bed, where the streaking has room to run. It is the most kinetic frame in the Porsche group and the obvious counterweight to the static drawings.
How the streaks are made
The camera follows the car during a long exposure so the subject stays still relative to the sensor while everything else moves across it. There is no way to add it afterwards that looks the same. The technique is described at Wikipedia. The generation of these cars is not recorded.
