it'd be a gutting time to realise you have a name tag stitched into the back of your boxers lol

I think there is an offset flash set on the speed camera, the middle of the flash is too far to the right for it to be a real flash from the camera.

The flash bulb is offset from the camera lense to prevent reflection from the license place going straight into the camera lense and obscuring the characters. Same reason SLRs have high flashes that flip-up, no red eye.

Correct, it's coming from a side flash mounted on the same pole. I just explained the offset thing.

yeah dead on. i've seen footage of guys setting the traps off, but you'd just never get the timing right with that kind of quick exposure! still a cool setup tho

Wait a minute, this is most certainly faked 
there's no way you can sync the timing of you taking the photo with the flash on the camera going off. They can go at speeds of 1/200ths of a second. Human reactions are 1/5th of a second
or did the flash of the speed-cam make enough of an image?

About 1/1000th of a sec. But if you have a shutter speed of 1/50th (like the exif says), then you have lots of opportunity to get it in the shot.
Also, if you look at the EXIF then flash did not fire, so it's most likely real!

EXIF Data doesnt show up external flashes unless used with the canon built in system, which nobody uses.

Just sayin that the flash wouldn't have gone off whilst he was there on the Speed Camera. It would have been after the road markings. Also there's a flash from the side, so to time the side flash, and the flash of the speed camera would have been pretty impressive.
Really cool shot though. Great ingenuity. Really funny!

Did the photographer simply put his remote flash on the speed camera itself? That's how i would do it. Gives the same impression.

The photographer could have used a second long exposure and gotten this shot. If you will all note, everything you can see in this picture has been illuminated by the flash directly or my ambient reflection. The short flash length would prevent any motion blur, so there is no reason to think it's fake.

alex no one cares what the bloody make of the speed camera it is lol most likely a radio triggered flash placed on the roof next to the speed camera.... cool pic

considering the road doesnt look very wide and it looks like quite an urban area i'd say 30, but you never know
