Another First Rig Shot

[Liberalis]

Well, everyone else is doing it, lol....

Couldn't wait to get a half decent car to play with the new rig, so after I found this underground car park open whenever I want (and locked behind me if needed) I asked a friend if I could borrow his Carrera for 20 mins!!!!!

The car needed drying as it was persisting (is this a weather forcasters way of saying P***ing down I wonder) but everything worked just as planned.

Please let me know what you think as this is all trial and error.

Regards

Kris

[RocknE30]

[Texsrt4]

[SonicZoom]

[JustinL]

good job man!!! and nice car too!

[KC Jr 54]

Very nice car, and I love #4.

So in regular fassion lets see a shot of the rig ?

And for my own personal reasons i would REALLY like to see a shot before you PS ou the rig itself. That would be awesome.

Thanks

[poah]

motion is good on the rig shots but background sucks.

the first shot the wheel is turned the wrong way, you should never see the tyre tread, and the strip light is reflecting in the rear window.

3rd one could have been great had it not been for the pointless angle the camera is held at and the post in the was.

th exposure is not great but then black car in multistorey is never going to be nice :( my advice is to do two layers, one for your background (top) and one for the car (bottom) then rub out the car from the top one to reveal the brighter car below.


a tiip for the motion shots. take a picture of the car stopped then take the motion one and do the same above but leave the wheels in. that way you get the car sharp but the motion too.

[Liberalis]

aye, I understand there is much not right with the shots, but when you get a wet car turn up and have only 20 mins to get the shots, I'm chuffed. I'll have a Bently GT next week and far more time.

regarding your tip for motion shots, Ok you'll get a sharp car, but also non moving reflection and that way too much ps for me to fix, I would rather get a sharp moving car, but I appreciate your point.

The still shots are not set up properly, I took them while the owner was talking on his phone, more grab shots rather than planned.

Poah, my weather is just like yours, guess its the wrong season to start this lark, lol

Cheers for the comments folks.

The second one makes such a beautiful car look squished- not good for a Porsche. I like the rest though. Mind posting the rig setup, or should I search for something special to find it?

[hartgeh3]

very nice shots, wouldnt mind a look at the rig setup too, as id love to do w#the same with my car :)

[poah]

Poah, my weather is just like yours, guess its the wrong season to start this lark, lol



yip lol the car park looks well lit though so thats a bonus. if you are worried about reflections then don't dub em out or position the car so you don;t have any

[Coops]

I would really love to see the rig and how you built it.

[The REBELion]

amazing shots, I would also like to see your rig:D

[2005GLI]

why is the roofline in the second shot so soft looking? did you clone out the rig there?

[iddie]

i wannna see the rig too. Very curious how its set up.

[jdmoto]

ya me too i want to see the rig too.. lol

oh wait..

[ohsnap]

Loved #2, the distortion and choice to shoot the rear wheel tickle my creative fancy.

Show the rig!

[sjafari]

I really like those shots with motion, and like everyone else, want to see your rig!

[poah]

a rig is nothing mystical. you can buy them or make them relatively easy. I can't clone things out so you don't get the whole car with mine. its normally just a set of suckers (or magnets), a metal bar(s) and a plate for the camera to attach to. if you can't do the photoshop to remove the rig then you'll not get shots like that. also rig shots are not that easy to do either. its not just a case of slapping a rig on, long exposure and push lol

[Mike Reynolds]

let's see the rig ! good stuff there

[bestfromnw]

i love the motion shots
