Re: Fast & Slow !

Great idea! Which one did you see first to come up with the idea? The snail or the race car?

Very funny, made me smile all the more as I've just closed the door on a snail that had crawled into the door jam and I was on my way out.....crunch

Re: Fast & Slow !

Sorry to by critical. but this does not work for me, unless the snail is considered to be the fast subject! The model car is going nowhere fast! I think I would have been tempted to give the car a shove and try and capture some motion blur (or used wobblebottom's idea), so that the setup looks a bit more convicing.
Only my humble opinion though

Yes, but don't worry, the track will be fine.
