2nd Try at Rolling Rig Shot of A4

good start!

here's what i'd recommend:
dont have the car running when your'e shooting and dont drive the car.
turn the car off and push it on the smoothest road you can find.

shoot at the highest f-stop that you can so that everything is in focus. look into a neutral density filter to allow you to shoot at a higher stop in daylight.

invest in the magic arm - it's worth it

keep practicing your cloning in PS.

keep shooting! you'll only get better.

alright my point is, the shots are both a bad canvas on which to start. you need to go slower, or go on a smoother patch of road. or figure out if your camera mount is whats causing the shake. see how your backgrounds are mad blurry? that's not supposed to happen. IMO the sloppy rig removal is the least of your worries, master the shooting part first.

your input is probably the least constructive input I have ever seen. Try helping a little bit instead of tearing people down. People like you discourage people from trying again because you just tell them they suck

That's news to me! I thought the idea was to keep the car fairly sharp & blur the background.

Thanks everybody- Here's another edit of this pic, I know the cloning still needs work, but the background is sharper I believe? I actually had mistakenly taken another shot at more or less the same time with a much sharper background, so I merged the two images together as best as I could. Is it much better?

looks better blurred because it goes with the rest of the photo. Now it just looks unnatural

interesting POV
