Sorry for going OT.

There could be some rig there that's been choped out, either a mount on the car or possibly some kart to move the camera along with the car.

All the people saying DPP sucks didnt get the point of this thread. This is very helpful to all of the new XTI users including myself, so if you wanna have a discussion or bashing of DPP start another thread. OP-thanks again...on my recent trip to Vegas I shot in many different modes but when I went to the top of the Srtatosphere at night (w/no tripod but an IS lens came out well IMO) I shot in RAW cuz I wanted to play with the settings afterwords. First time Ive used DPP and it was a very coool program, I'll limit RAW shooting to those shots I really want to take advantage of.

I have alot of experience in automotive photography, my setup is a Canon 350D and CS3 + photomatix + lightroom, it's all about taking a good picture with a good background/contrast in colours, good lighting and good processing skills, the more you know your image editor the better your images will be.

ok, so ctwentytwo.....got a couple of questions after reading your write-up (great one by the way!):
1.) i know you're not saying it's a must, but are you "suggesting" that DSLR owners shoot in RAW mode to take advantage of the capabilities of post processing through the computer instead of letting the camera post process the RAW right?
2.) Let's say I do always shoot in RAW mode. My D40 tells me that I'll only be able to take 274 pics with RAW and that's with a 2GB SD card. Of course I'll have to buy a bigger card but is shooting in RAW mode worth it?
3.) Does shooting in RAW mode give that crazy clarity I see in pictures? Where it almost makes the shooting subject look alive in the picture?
4.) Let's say I don't shoot RAW and I shoot in JPEG normal. Is it at all possible to not do ANY post processing and have my pictures come out as nice as clear as the ones you're posting?
Thanks for any answers =)

I do photography work for a magazine covering events and races as a photographer/correspondent and I use Canon to develop my RAW files. Nothing else comes close in regards to image quality and color. Of course, I go into Adobe Photoshop afterwards to do more stuff.
