DSLR Photography for beginner - How to shoot like a Pro.
that thing is sweeeeet!!!!
im serious pm me !
for tripods and monopods I highly suggest buying the best you can, giottos is the best and will last a lifetime...I personally use www.feisol.com they are awesome, great bang for the buck but still not as good as the giottos...
We switched the rig position in a few of the shots so you can see why the position of the angle is different. The camera is low to the ground but has a wideangle lens on so that the entire car can be seen. I believe the lens Vince uses is a Canon 12-22mm, quite an expensive lens ($600-$700 new).
Please take note that ball head is not so good if you have heavy camera like Nikon D700 and Canon 5D
playing with some lighting. on flash at the back wheel, one on camera flash at the middle of the car and one flash at the side of the front bumper from a 45 degree angle. still should have had the lights higher on the stands, the top of the car is too dark =(

Sorry bro, I just traded the rig with Rexpeed for some CF pieces. As for the cost of the actual rig? Anywhere from $300-$400 to do it yourself or up to over $1500 for a nice rig.
Beautiful job capturing the atom in this photo bro. It has almost perfect motion yet keeping the subject clear. The peel out pic is sick as well, great job!
Very nice! I like them all but especially this shot because it's...well, awesome!
What flash are you using bro? I like it but the background I think is where your problem lies. The picture doesn't look real in a sense that someone could cut out the neon and paste it onto a dark background. Maybe you should try a wall? Say a red brick wall would make the car stand out more?
