I agree. GT3 is one car I would actually buy if I had that much money.

shot a single slammer just to get some practice in with my camera. I played around with a hazed look in photoshop (just trying new ish)

Or you push like you're suppsed to to avoid camera shake

so you're suggesting that he doesn't edit a rig out of the picture, but instead edits the appearance of motion into a picture of a still car? I don't think thats the case. As 96 DX Hatch said, most of the pictures taken of cars using a rig are not driven while the picture is taken, but pushed. sometimes for magazine shoots, the owner will sit in the car while the picture is taken, but i think the camera would shake way too much at speeds higher then 5-10mph.

so, petey, did u make the rig? buy a rig? or just edit motion into the image?

All of those were 25 second long exposures. Believe it or not, the camera can wobble a bit, and it'll still come out tack sharp. Absolutely unbelievable.

That was indeed what i was suggesting. I'm not an expert photographer, nor do i know how all of this stuff is done.

Now that i know this, it makes more sense.

It's my cousin's rig. This is what you do, (or atleast what I do). I set the timer, then when it gets down to 3-4, we start pushing the car slowly. Usually friends will do that and I just keep a hand on the end of the pole, to keep the camera as steady as possible.

No experience with a rig here yet, but this just came to mind.

Would it be easier to take snap 1 as the car, then another for the motion in the wheels & background?
That way you don't have to worry about walking and all that.
Shot 1 guarantees you a sharp car shot, then just cut out the background and wheels exposing shot 2 beneath in PS = sharp body on top of the motion shot.

More work, barely, but ensures a sharp look without having to take more than 2 just to be sure.

how much post processing is involved in "removing" the rig from the shot?

I wish it could work like that. But it can't, and here's why - You rely on the light that hits the car as it moves, which allows for the car to be lit like the way it does. If I just took one without the car moving, it'll be very poorly lit. Doing it while the car moves, allows the lights to pass over the car.

depends on how well you place the rig. The first couple that I did, i had no idea what I was doing and spent a good hour to an hour and a half editing the rig out.

The last two was fairly easy.

Tried some rolling shots yesterday, first time i've ever attempted it. Theres a few others mixed in, but here they are.

hey man your in the springs too? do you go to the hub on friday nites?

 

[NYGraFFit1]

Pete that white eg is is

 

[JerseyStrong]

can you get some shots of the rig itself?

 

[96 DX Hatch]

Gotcha, that was just some early morning half-asleep rambling going on




No, no rig foar you! Trade secrets.

 

[Destroy]

First three looks pretty good.
