quick rig shots
 

I had some free time so I set up my rig and took a few shots right outside my house. I used my 20D which has a cropped sensor so I couldn't get wide enough to get the whole car, when I have time for a nicer location I'll borrow my brothers' 5D and get the whole car, anyway here ya go:

I didn't spend a whole lot of time editing the rig out so shhhhhh

Nice man, I think they came out good for testing. Would look real cool if you had something written on the calipers. Are you using the body's timer?

Got pics of the rig?

hahah yeah it looks a lot better on cars with big brake kits and thinner spoke wheels, and the third picture looks better on cars with wider rear tires but I was just messing around with different shots since I couldn't get wide enough to get the whole car

and yes I'm using the camera timer, for these I was just pushing/pulling the car so it was easy enough

I'll get some tomorrow, I have them somewhere but can't find them

it's pretty much the standard top-of-car rig

-2 F1000 suction cups
-3 manfrotto superclamps
-magic arm
-10' of electrical conduit

the conduit is what's killing me, way too heavy, I have a cable support system that helps a lot but I'm going for aluminum eventually. I found some closet piping that's aluminum at lowes that I keep thinking about but we'll see.

Sweet pics

Man, those shots look awesome; it looks like you're speeding down the road, but in reality you're just pushing the car. Great work!!

very cool pics..

yet i always have this question.. why blur out your license plate? its not like you were doing anything illegal in the pics? and when u drive down the road any other day... thousands of people can write down your plate #. just makes no sense to me .

otherwise, cool pics. if i had some $ id like the chance to get some motion pics like that for sure. nice

if you could get that first pic and angle it towards the whole car:drool::drool: awesome work man

thanks!

I can't wait to go out with a clean car and try again with a full frame camera

I usually don't blur the license plate, I was just debating posting them in a few other places and I figured since other people do it I might as well

so sick, def wanna see pics of the rig!

really nice how did you do that .... can you take some pics of my car

I'll try to get some pictures of the rig soon, maybe tonight

if anyone wants me to do some of their car PM me
