So I finally had the chance to test out my automotive rig setup I bought a few weeks back. It was a good learning experience, and I know that I’m in dire need of a wireless shutter release. Ordered one two weeks ago, but it didn’t ship until yesterday. Looking forward to using that when it comes in. Some things I learned:
- Be aware of shadows cast by the rig onto the car for post processing.
- Be aware of background and complexity of shapes/colors for post processing.
- Be aware of cup placement for post processing.
- Push the car instead of driving to reduce bounce in the rig.
- Black, night background doesn’t help convey motion too well.
The equipment used:
Canon 40D Body
Tamron 10-24mm lens
3x Manfrotto Super Clamps
2x Avenger F1000 Pump Cups
1x Manfrotto Variable Friction Magic Arm with Camera Bracket
10ft EMT pole
