This is completely off topic but I think I met you at freshmen orientation at UB 4 years ago.

Very nice. First shot is the best IMO.
I’m guessing this is a suction rig?

yeah.
all of them have minimal processing (not including shopping the rig out, of course) except for the first one, which is actually 2 images combined.

when you pull the rubber cup off, it leaves a tiny circle of dust on the paint. it easily wipes away with a soft cloth or whatever. i’ve never had problems with it, and i’ve shot my own car with the rig too many times to count.

Not bad. I personally like a bit of a wider shot when i do em, but the longer the pole the harder it is to keep it clear. I use a 10ft pole and i dont think i could go much longer. 10mm lens FTW though.
Edit: Also Walker, it doesn’t hurt the paint at all. You have to be conscientious of what your putting it on, like when i did bueme’s evo, pretty much the whole thing is aluminum and it wouldn’t hold the weight. Same deal on Newman’s Lotus. Also i found that it will leave a indentation in clear bra’s, it comes out but you just have to be carful.

lol way to jump in and offer your services in here.
i’ve been doing these since last fall, but i’m still learning. sucks having to work around a cropped body with 18mm focal length. being a poor engineering student sucks.

Negative. Shooting one set of one car takes long enough. Now im going to stop ruining this guys thread, he does great work and deserves to showcase it. 😉

I am kind of curious how much you have to chop out of the photo. Can I see some un-doctored photos?

1 and 3 look nice…you need to either drive faster or do longer exposures. Needs more blur.

you’re absolutely right. i can usually go up to 2 or 3 seconds, even longer at night if i want. however, with a blazing Florida sun setting on me, even with an ND and CPL stacked, i still had trouble with overexposure even at a quarter second.
