He man, great shots, I'm a fan of your work - I'am interesting, the second shot with the two cars - is it one ore two shots in PS?
I tried once to shoot two cars with the rig on one and I saw no chance to get both sharp - they must drive/roll the same speed...
Another thing, I think it could be better to clone out the area behind the car in front of the second shot (building/trees),
because you get a clear line of the car.

Hey StE,

I'm curious, what couplers are you using with your pipes?

Just set up my rig recently. Still getting used to shooting with it and need to get an ND filter.

Yes, I know that. I've read the entire thing... after 250 pages, it gets a bit daunting to go back through them all.

re-edited one of my shots...

this one and the picture with the 2 cars are the same, right?

first time posting here

Did you have any problems with the body panels flexing on the subbys? I was thinking about testing my rig on my car when its finished, but i dont want to bend any panels.

You wont. I've used my rig on quite a few old OLD cars and trucks... seems to work every time, no worries.

i do..the roof and hood are very soft... you kinda have to use the edge or test which part is more solid with the suction cups before you put on the boom

keep the cups near seams, as they are the most rigid, rather than in the middle

yeah I know the keep it near seams trick... just wanted to double check with the STI
