Went out with a buddy of mine last night to take some shots of his GT. So I brought along my rig equipment to finally attempt some rig shots. They aren't as easy to shoot as I thought. I screwed up and didn't clean my lens before shooting and it screwed up a bunch of the pics. So here is what I was able to salvage. Tear em' up because I know they suck. Next time I will do some day time pics and I think that will work a lot better!!
First attempt at rig shots...
- Thread starter O4COBRA
- Start date
I think they came out great! :rockon:
Where did you get your suction cups?

very nice first attempt!
I gotta agree with 04Sleeper, these look very nice imo!
Thanks for the nice words guys! They were fun to take. I'll definitely do some more in the near future.
I got them from Adorama. Whatever you do get the cups with the swivel mount. It will make things a lot easier.

Details? Equipment or technique?

Those are very nice. I'm glad you didn't do any "HDR" stuff to the pics.
I know whatcha mean. Seems to be getting a little old. Actually didn't do too much to these. Just cleaned up some speckles from dust on the lens... :nonono:
Both. If I may be so bold.

Isn't that car Atlantic Blue?
I like em, especially the driving pics.
Looks like BAB to me too.
It's not sonic I know that. Isn't Atlantic a little lighter blue? I'm gonna go out on a limb and say True Blue?
Thanks!
I use 2 Avenger 1100 suction cups with a stud, 3 Manfrotto super clamps #2915, Manfrotto 244RC Variable Friction Magic Arm w/3299 Quick Release. Then I use, as you can see in the pics, some pipe from Home Depot with quick release clamps. I shoot with a Nikon D90. Basically the shutter speed I just went with what was needed. The key to these shots is you don't have to go fast, go slow. Most people push the car to get it moving and then get out of the way. I had the owner just barely let the clutch out and just coast really slow. In the pics the car doesn't get over a mile an hour. I walked next to the camera waiting to catch it in case it fell.
Haha. You mount the camera to the pole so that you get the blurry background but the car is in focus. I'll post some pics below for the before and after affect, and show you how it was mounted.
BAB is the lighter blue, Atlantic was darker like this, and since its a 99 that was an available color. Pics looks great tho man for your first time.
nicely done
