A couple of "rig" shots of Maxine
Finally got all the pieces together for my photography 'car-rig'. Took Maxine out yesterday afternoon to shoot my first shots with the rig.

Here are the results. Hope you guys like.

I love the pics!

I do not want to alarm you, but someone put some strange stripes on only the top part of your car.

What lens are you using? that boom looks huge, like 10-12 feet. Have you considered something ultrawide like a Tokina 11-16mm? If you got something that wide then you could shorten the boom some. I can get the whole car in the shot from 1-6 ft away, depending on the angle:
(I apologize for the crappy pics)

8ft


5ft


3ft

The boom mounts to the car with some very heavy duty suction cups. It's 15' in length. The camera I am using is a Canon 40D, so with the crop factor of the sensor I am using the Canon 10-22mm EFS lens. It's the only one that will allow me to capture the car with enough distance and not have the boom any longer than that. Until I upgrade to a full frame camera, but that's gonna be a while.

Here's the secret. With the long exposure, the car is actually rolling backwards at about 2 mph. It's all smoke and mirrors. ;-)

Ahhh ha ha! Now that I look more closely ... yeah, the motion lines seem to be going the wrong way. Still looks ****-hot!

Silly question, but why backwards at 2 mph, instead of forwards at 2mph???

Awesome pics!

Either way works. It just so happens that the hill I was on, for the proper light direction I was facing uphill. You don't want the engine running, that will cause vibrations in the boom. So backwards I go.
