Default Brooks Institute Update... rig shot

Ok, so as some of you know I'm currently in my first session here at Brooks and having the time of my life. One of our assignments was "Pan/Blur" so I decided to do a rig shot of my Z in one of the parking structures one night at 2:00 a.m. The image is not fully processed yet but thought I'd give you guys a taste...



And here is the shot of the rig. Manfrotto tripod w/ adjustable ball head. Worked perfect!

Nice shot! Very creative with the tripod, but where was the leg towards the front mounted? Those sodium lamps are not fun for color balance, but you did a good job of it.

To answer your questions...

1.) You can't really see the front leg it's directly behind the one in the foreground. And it was post processed in Lightroom. A much more powerful program for color balance/ white balance than photoshop.

2.) Pics of the front are coming. I've been super busy with other projects and have not had time to process the rest.

3.) My setup: Axis Hiros, Mastergrade rear diffuser, Carbon Creation Universal Side Splitters.


Thanks for the complimants. There will be more to come...

Not exactly a rig in the traditional sense, but I'll give you props for creativity. And I agree about Lightroom, such a fantastic program.

^Thank you. Yeah, and as far as the rig goes, I was wanting to build one and realized that the legs of the tripod fit perfectly on my side splitters and just put the other leg through the window. But in the next month I'll have a really nice rig to use. I just found out the other day that our schools equipment check out place has everything you need to build a nice rig. I heard you build enormous rigs with their equipment, the ones that go out like 10 feet past your car.
