The Rig is Done - My first final shot!

[dwnhillskater]

Please, comments and critique welcome. This is my first rig shot after I have tested it on my own car. I got to shoot this 650 BMW, wow what a car. Please let me know what everyone thinks. Thanks!

[zacker]

hows about a shot of the rig its self?

[conflictingALIBI]

Nice shot, would love to see pics of the rig as well. the area where the rig was could use a little more attention in photoshop IMO, but all in all definitely nice shot.

Where's the driver?

Where's the driver?

It was just me there so I improvised, I'll just say, ebrake in drive with me running next to the car with a remote release. Kinda scary.

Here is another one.

[kaitanium]

yea how about some shots of the rig itself? unless you want to keep that a secret =)

[joayne]

Wonderful shot, but 1 is crocked... Please straighten the horizon (I know it is indoors, but......

EDIT: Ok, Ok you are going up a parking ramp. Still, I think it would look better level..perhaps.

love the Subaru shot, what a sexy car

[Colombia]

Nice shots!! Really digging the STi shot! I would give anything for one, so i love each and every pic of them!

[Suicidenote]

both nice shots

[poah]

BMW is underexposed at the front and no a huge amount of blur, the second shot hurts my neck lol. both look sharp enough though. are you shooting the car stationary then blending with the moving shot?

[disboifan]

cool. i want to try this one day.

[mattitudesc2]

sweet shots...... you should try some from the side!

[dwnhillskater]

Yea, I am going to try some from different angles but the setup needed some modification first, the side shots will be coming soon!

[dwnhillskater]

Thanks for the comments so far everyone!!!

[dwnhillskater]

I havent decided yet if I am going to post pictures of the rig yet. I will think about it. Thanks!

[aka fully]

Nice work so far.

It seems to me in the first image something in the middle of the bumper is oddly cloned. either thats a reflection of something or it's just me.

The second image has the same type of odd reflection, possibly the rig itself, on the hood.

Other than that, great stuff

suspense. we need a pic of that rig. guys from my local car club want me to take some shots of their car one day this summer.

then take some. you don't need a rig to do automotive photography.

Why do you always have a bad attitude in every post you make?

[cosworth]

page 2, no rig shot.

You need a rig to take rig shots buddy. Running beside the car doesn't cut it in this town.

You mean no shots of the rig?

where is the attitude my comment. rig shots can be good bit more often than not they are poor and it seems these days a lot of photographers rely on rig shots to make people go wow at there shot

[JuZ]

The shots are a good start, the BMW really should be level and looks a little underexposed, the Subaru is better exposed, personally I'd like to see more background blurring in both.

Thanks Juz, I leveled out the BMW and lightened it up a little bit. The first one isnt blurred alot because it was my first try, the Subaru was on a dirt road and I am lucky I got one that sharp, I took 60 in one run and that was the only sharp one.

I got more coming soon. Just did a shoot with a brand new Audi S4 and got some great angles with the rig. Just have to edit them.
