Wow cs5, great pics! How did you manage the first one??
Thanks, the first one I have the camera mounted on a pole that is suction cupped to the hood, then I went out on the road in front of the house and set the exposure for about 20 seconds using a ND filter to block the light. Using a remote trigger I started gently pushing the truck and tripped the shutter. That is soft oil on a gravel road, had no idea a 8600 lb truck would be that hard to push lol. Driving it was not an option because the vibration from the engine would shake the camera too much. I am super happy with the results. Oh and a little time in photoshop fixing rock chips
it's an 05 with 300K on it so there was a few.
Haha
It looks like it's going mach 3. Goood job.
You should enter that photo in a contest.

I run a canon d60, manfroto tripod, several lenses right up from primes to L series zooms...some studio lights
Really enjoy off camera flash work.
Here are a couple of pics. Some are portrait work, some from a trip to Rwanda where we hiked up to see the mountain gorrilla's (same ones as gorrilas in the mist) and some off camera flash work.

Some great advice in this thread and some not so great advice. Only thing i will say, is for sledding and action shots in general, ISO is NOT your friend.
I shoot with a Canon 7D and for sledding my Preferred lens is the Canon F4.0 70-200mm L, i picked it over the F2.8 II because of weight, and i've never been happier.
It gives me great Results Though

Are you the face and the silhouette?
I'd have to guess 1 exposure, but two different strobes. One lighting the "floating" face from below, followed by one lighting the photographer from behind. If you are both the face and the photographer, then a much slower shutter speed, and a longer gap between strobes firing, as you moved to your second position.
Just a guess. Might be backwards and the silhouette was done first.
I am guessing you are holding a mirror with a flashlight between your legs and the camera at belly button height. and a light behind you?
Nope....
Yes I'm both the sihouette and the face
Ok...so LOOONG exposure...dark dark room, low ISO and minimal apature.
1 Flash hand held, manual fire.
First one face the door and bounce the strobe off the door.
Then spin around, kneel down and fire the strobe on really low power at(past) my face.

no doubt, i have to flashes that I use consistantly off camera. The power of angles of light should not be under estimated

Stats please! camera, lens, settings. It looks like your shutter speed isnt high enough and your ISO is set too high

We have a 7D with a 50mm lens. I don't really know how to use it but I've never looked into how to use it i some how adjust it and get some decent pics.My wife uses it for hair competition photo shoots.
Very annoying to lug around on trips, but its going to be awesome when we have our baby April 22nd.
I would say if your looking for a camera never get something too advanced cause you have the cash. It's a learning process for sure. Can always upgrade when your ready.
