Had the opportunity to shoot heyitzalex's TT Sedan this afternoon. Photos from our shoot will be posted later tonight.

2nd try with my homemade rig. I got a thicker EMT pole (1" versus the 3/4" one I had before) and used my much lighter D40 instead of my D300 and that did the trick! Shot came out much better and sharper than my first try (back wheel is in focus this time).

PP on this one was a pain because of all of the lines in the background.

Now I need to pick up some ND filters to allow for longer exposures during the day (the front of Alex's car is a bit overexposed). Thanks again Alex for being my guinea pig with the rig!

Setup shot:

 

damn thats one clean sedan!
nice pics too

 

Nice pics Marcus

 

what kind of wheels does he have now.

 

Nice Marcus....keep em coming. Nice shot of the rig set up too.

 

Alex is rollin' on Lowenhart LD5s (20x9 +38, 20x10 +44). So sick!

 

Marcus, EXCELLENT!

Did you flip the picture? The set up pick shows the car with the camera on driver's side, but the rig shot has a picture of the driver's side.

Edit: Heyitzalex, by any chance were you driving on Montana Avenue in Santa Monica tonight?

 

Thanks Kevin. Yes I flipped the picture. Because the photo is taken upside down on the rig you have to flip it right side up in PP. I think thats the only way to do it

 

Very well done. I wish I had any skill at all with a camera.

 

hey this may be a dumb question..but how do you keep the pole from being in the picture?? Photoshop it out?

 

looking good!

 

Yes you have to PS the pole out. Here is the image before PS.

 

Ok. That's what i thought. Great looking shot btw man.

 

Thanks, PSing the rig out is actually easier than I thought it would be. It just takes a ton of patience. I worked on cloning out the rig in this photo for at least an hour.

 

Thanks man, can't wait to get some rig shots of your ride.
