Since there are several other photography threads on here I figured I'd start one with only "rig" shots.
I know there are more guys on here that use them as well, so lets see some samples guys, dont be bashfull.

special thanks to the boys at http://www.automotiverigs.com for a little assistance!


this is my first attempt at it.

rigs are an important tool to automotive photography, no one really gives out their design of the rig since each rig is unique. how else do you expect to get a photo like the ones given? yeah we're ****** ricers that put camera stands on our car so we can take pictures to post on HT. i gaurantee most of these shots are in magazines, if not, then you can tell which ones suck, it just takes practice.

 

that is some hawt stuff. I wish I wish I could "rice" and take pictures of my car like this... no im serious...drool

while the rig and camera are the tools used to getting the shot, it's the person behind the camera that creates the great shot itself.

 

Rig shots are sick, but not when the photographers relies on it.

Aren't rigs a grip? Homemade please. Ha.

Also, still have to photoshop the rig out.

I am wondering where/how the hell they mount it to the bottom of the car. ?

 

No rig here, just risking my life like Ben hanging out of sunroofs and windows.



I'd like to get into a rig just to see what I could do with it. Its an interesting area of automotive photography that I think would be fun.

That's a BMW, not a played out Honda by the way. All of that wah wah rant was based on the assumption we all take pictures for the sole purpose of posting on H-T, or that all of our pictures are of played out Hondas. Some of us take pictures for other reasons and they happen to find themselves to H-T because other people might want to see them or they might help answer someone's question.

 

Cool thread

 

so you guys actually drive down a road with that contraption on your car?

Yea, at like 3-6 mph

 

i was going to say, i would not be going very fast with a +$1000 camera hanging off my car from a PVC pipe

 

when my rig shot was taken the car wasnt even on.....had a guy on the other side out of site pushing it while i held the wheel. it had to be like 1 mph.

Yea, you can push it, just have the shutter as long as you can.

So any clues on how these rigs are mounted to the car (not suction cups).

 

I have one where we were pushing it, and you can actually see the dash showing zeros. It was funny when we looked at it. It was just for fun to see how it would come out so nothing lost.
