yeah the blue car is passing on a double yellow line.

 

Thanks for sharing the tips. Some amazing pictures.

I did not make a rig, but this got me thinking of using one of my suction mounts that I use for my camcorders, and mount my D90 on it.

Need to try different settings and mounting points, but I think it has potential.

 

I dont get it? What are the rolling shot pictures of the Ferrari for?

 

Just some pictures that are similar to ones with a rig. I know the camera needs to be lower and more blur. Your post made me try it without making a rig. Sorry if they are out of place

 

Very cool stuff! Thanks for sharing. Definitely makes me want to make a rig setup.

Gotcha. Yea, those are actually rolling shots, not rig shots. But I know what you're trying to say.

 

First of all, thanks to TYC for sharing the tips. I have been wanting to do this for a long time, but could not quite visualize what I needed.

Ok, so I went out there, got the materials, built the rig and did some tests... this is one of the shots I took last night.

Lighting sucks, I know, I am working on it . Yeah, I need a drop too, working on it as well . And the car is in dire need of a nice deep detailing session... need to get an appointment at the bodyshop to get that done!

But anyway, here it is. Comments/suggestions are all appreciated:

 

^ i dig.

so how much does a simple rig like this cost? just a rough estimate?

 

Thx!

I got set back by roughly $300... worth every cent as this is a lot of fun!

I think that the most variable cost will be the pole. I got mine for the cost of the aluminum tube/bar, a friend worked the thing out for free.

 

good start, carlos! i'd suggest cloning out some of those hotspots on your door and quarter panel out.

 

I can do that! Thanks for the comments and suggestions!

 

Carlos, easy on the contrast bro. I cant see the most of the front tire at all. The blacks are very dark....other then that, just more cloning out minor things and you're good.

 

Is the rig'd cloned out of the picture? Or is there another way to chop it out?

 

Gotcha TYC, thanks for the tip! I will 're-work' this same image later today (when I actually get up! ) and see how that comes along.

I contacted my friend yesterday to ask him to get me another section of tube done... I think I will need it for certain shots.

 

Looks great! Any more pictures of your Z?

 

Thx! Not really... I am just coming back to get more pics of the Z, as I was kind of occupied with other stuff.

But check out this link to see some old and not so old shots:

Great DIY thanks TYC, any one know where I can get the best prices for all this gear?

thanks

Yes, this place is where I got everything besides the aluminum pole.

 

Nicely done!! Now I know How magazines pull off those crazy cover shots...time to research the rig stuff!!
