2002 RSX: New Rig Shots

Here's two shots I took the other weekend to get some more practice with the rig. Still need some improvement (and a wider lens), but these will do for now!

The sense of motion in the second one is very well done! Love it.

ugh...I have always wanted to build a rig. I do a ton of auto photography and the effect is so great. I made one attempt, and it wasn't stable enough and I gave up.

it's no easy feat for sure. and there's one thing that i've seen about all rigs: if you cheap out on the parts, you'll get cheap looking results. my rig was pretty pricey to put together, but the results have been worth it so far!

I know some people are very secretive with their rig designs, but any details or "pull back shot" you could share?

Very true! That's why I went with a commercially available setup from automotiverigs.com. I got tired of getting poor results with my home-made attempts.

You're off to a great start with your shots. Glad to see you didn't do the typical parking garage shots! Even with rig shots backgrounds and locations can make or break the results.

thanks very much! i'm looking for more scenic areas to shoot at as we speak. i'll hopefully be able to post more results soon!
