There was this rig shot I did a while back, but I wasn't happy with the result so today I did a re-edit. Here is the result:

Is this the pic you were unhappy with because of the cloning work showing where the pole was and to the right of your head

There are some parts that I could have done better But I was in a bit of a hurry.

edit: I made another edit I think it is better now.

My last one,

more to come...

I feel like I'm going to get run over by a speeding Ferrari looking at this

IMO I think the wheel shouldve been turned the other way.

Agree

But I was very short on time. I mount the rig, took the shots and store everything in less than 20m...that was the time I 've had to make it

But thank you for you comment

Dimer, what method did you use to drop the sky in? It blended well.

At first I just used a mask and tried to paint away what I didn't need. But as you can see the trees where going to be a bit of a problem . Since my sky was all white I then set my sky layer to 'multiply'. Now the whole sky blended in perfectly. I still had a mask on the layer, but now it was much easier to paint out the buildings back.

This was the frist time I dropped in a different sky, but the result was pretty good.

what do you think?

Ahh perfect! I have a similar rig shot that needed a sky. I often overlook the power of blend modes, this worked great for my shot also.

I love blend modes

A couple of new ones from a recent rig shoot

I love these kind of rolling shots, and here I thought it was always some guy in a car infront with the subject cars following

So you guys use some sort of remote trigger and then photoshop the tubing out?
