Rush

Pictures of speed are really easy to shoot, but you need to experiment a lot to get an image you like. That's one of the great things about digital photography; you can shoot hundreds of photos at no additional cost and you get instant feedback from your camera's display. With film cameras, this type of shot requires a lot of time and expense.

Vary the shutter speed and overall exposure a lot. Use the camera's meter as a starting point, but don't be afraid to dramatically over- or under-expose the shot...the results can often be surprising.

For the image above, I made several adjustments in Photoshop using Levels and Gradient Map to get the contrast and color the way it looks now.
