Official Automotive Rigs - DIY Thread

^ ^ VERY nice!

Great number plate! Photo isn't bad either

Still the only picture ever of an R33 that I've ever liked. They are just fugly to me.

This is one of my first shots since I picked up a boom from Andrew, I was surprised as it was heavier then I thought it was going to be, but it seems the extra weight adds to the stability of the boom as a whole.

Something to think about for you guys that have just fabbed up booms.

You're probably right. People say I'm nuts, but in many cases I can tell the difference between a carbon and aluminum boom by how "jittery" the background is with carbon. Not disrespecting carbon, so nobody freak out, but it has a different look in some instances. Both bounce, of course, but one bounces at a slow, heavy rate, and the other bounces at a fast, light rate.

Anyway, I like the shot, but wonder if you had a shorter exposure to use for the ground so you could pull some more detail out of it.

I love that shot dude, love the colors, love the contrast and how the car really sticks out, nice amount of motion. I agree with above as well, perhaps just slightly shorter exposure.

Also agree on booms being a bit heavier! Eventually I'd love a rig-pro, especially for the "extenders" because I can really see how they would help immensely.. but for now still a dream haha. My fabbed up rig boom I had custom made from an aluminum shop is great so far. Thinking of adding one extra piece to extend it to 16' but when I got it - it was much heavier than I had thought it would be. The weight certainly adds some rigidity to it, it just feels nice and "solid." I like it. Then, when compared to still or EMT it feels so much lighter haha..

Unfortunately it was longer exposure or higher iso. I was outta light. This still might have been 1600iso. Thanks for the feed back though!

I have been following this thread for months, probably more than a year!

Is is limited to Canon only users? I shoot with a Sony but didn't want to post just in case

I finally feel my shots are getting to a standard I would be confident sharing here

I think some of the top dogs in this thread secretly shoot Nikon

This is a thread about rigs, doesn't matter what you shoot. I shoot Nikon. I think at f8 or higher, it'd be hard to tell the difference between brands anyway, it's only the bokeh that looks a little different between them.

You combine some flash with the rig in that shot dude? That's EPIC!!!

Looks more like light painting, but I agree looks good
