haters... lol

Do you have some samples of your work in VRPro that would discount the previous comments?

About VR - it's great when you're in a situation where you can't bring your rig or want to shoot very quickly at a location, say when you're doing a job abroad and are flying there. But I prefer using my rig, spent all day yesterday taking shots and the rig shots were by far the best bit of it. Going to see how many different angle rig shots I can do today....

Since you were so dismissive of VisualEchos's negative comments about the software, I assumed you had a different experience with it. If you do not have that experience, then my mistake.

Stephen is pretty much a master at VRS, and will be the first to tell you my comments are true if he will be serious.

Basically, it's not all it's cracked up to be. To get the wheels right, you must jack the front of the car up, spin the wheel, and do an exposure, and the same for the rear. Then you have to shoot the background plate, and when you add the car, add the shadow and make it look correct. Beyond that, it simply doesn't make much sense, and here's why. VRS is really great for those shots that AREN'T possible with a real rig, problem is, when you do those shots, the physics NEVER works (for those that look even half close), so it simply doesn't work. For normal people, sure they will oooh and ahhh all over it, but for photographer's, it's just not all there yet. Give it a few years...

So basically, if you know what you are doing, this is all doable in photoshop...

not.. entirely true, you can't "really" spin the wheels with the brake visible in photoshop.

I don't use VRpro. But I use another software called Bleex - www.getbleex.com (external link)

Those are very nice - thank you for sharing. The blur from Bleex seems to have a distinct quality to it, which looks smoother and softer to my eyes than real blur. More like what my brain thinks real blur should look like. It's also cheaper than VRPro, so that's great. But I'm not on Mac, so my loss in this instance.

If what I read from Mr. Echos is correct, you have to jack up the car, spin the wheels and take the photo. So basically it is all layers and with this there would be no difference. I an not being argumentative - I know nothing at all about the software - but it would seem to me that if this is the case, the brake would be visible...

I would love to see some examples of a VRS image...

Yeah - that reading stuff is hard... lol...

I also looked up both of the software sites mentioned. It is impressive, but very expensive for the high octane versions... I think I will save some money and get the gold plated boom...
