Damn. These are some nice shots guys. Mine isn't as good but here are a few shots from earlier this year

Guy is taking a pic of the stats to the car ... I'm guilty of that from time to time ...

 

 

 

 

My point and shoot contribution

 

I think they could still have fit some larger calipers on that S65...........

 

Nothing special here, but a pic of my Disco.

 

 

Just a few from NAIAS 2007...

Wow! Nice pics, Dan!

 

Ugh, there's a beneficial factor for Dan being so tall.. He can get nice angle's while taking pictures, while me on the other hand, have to get booster steps...

 

My own car, being driven by a friend:



And a 2nd gen TL

 

 

This shot is awesome! I wanna try some snowy shots with my TW 2nd gen CL once we can get enough up here

My car shots are nothing special,
just taken with a Canon Powershot A540.

Heres some I had in my Photobucket.

 

 

 

All these pictures are about 5 years old





Taken at the Pebble Beach Concorso Italiano in 2002 (or 2003, can't remember)
And for some reason I took way more pictures of the domestics set up on another lot than the Italians

 

wackjum's shots looks like rig shots.

 

 

my car, im not a photographer, i just like this pix

 

Awesome call Neo. They were my first true shots with this thing:

 

that's awesome. How might I get my hands on something like that?

 

thank you very much for posting your set up, if u don't mind me asking

how far is ur extention to get that full car shot. and i guess rest is just ps
skills getting the rig chopped out right?


the "blemish" on the driver door, is that where the rig was mounted?

again, you are very generous

 

I'm a freelance cinematographer/photographer by trade. That car mount cost me about $600 although it is quite stable. There are cheaper ones that cost around 150-200 (one is called the Sticky Pod) but you'll be taking a hit in stability and versatility. There are also really expensive ones but this one has worked out fine for me so far.

At the time, I had two cameras (Canon EOS-10D and Sigma SD-10). My widest lens on both was a 24-70. With their respective crops of 1.6x and 1.7x, I was just not getting the results I wanted. There was no way I could extend the mount out far enough to get the entire car.

After trying many times on my own, I finally decided to mount the rig onto a chase car. Since I could pretty much replicate such a shot leaning out of the chase car's window, I decided to mount the rig as low as possible (without being too low that rocks would be a problem). So the shots still have that "rig" feel. I hooked up a cable release and operated from inside the cabin of the chase car when I saw the cars were in position.

Due to the difficulties with syncing up two cars, I found the longest shutter I could use was around 1/8 or so. This was not enough to blur the background so I exaggerated that in PS.

Thanks for asking! I have more from that set if you want to see.

 

Great shots as usual, Neo. Wackjum, that's a sweet rig you have there. Definitely post more shots from it.

 

This thread just took a very cool turn for the better.

Great stuff wackjum and neo!

 

I wish that was a photo shoot, but really that was just me getting stuck in my driveway at my cottage.

 

please do post!

 

Well those two were probably the best ones. But here's others:











Most of these are rejects from when I was experimenting with settings. Surprisingly it was not so difficult once the settings were found. It was a compromise between image sharpness and sufficient motion blur. Once I found the good settings, we got both "keepers" in one take each.

 

Before I started using AI Focus/Servo:

"Nikki"






Would this be a car shot?




My car:







OK. Done with the self whoring.......

 

Wackjum, I really like how your rig lets you freeze the car, with the background blurred. Gives a very nice sense of motion. Nice setup.
