Btw- I checked out your Instagram account and you have some fantastic photos! I really enjoyed the motion shots from the track. I just started following you

Cool thx! I'll follow back!

My 1972 TR6 restoration a few years back. Note the "MOMO" seat insignia in the mirrror - my lame attempt at being creative.

I just looked at his Instagram and you are right. He has some excellent photos, the racing shots and a lot of the alpine white car are very nicely done and particularly the locations are excellent.
I don't have Instagram or I would follow him also.

Haven't figured out this Lightroom wizardry yet, and this is a cell phone pic, but I'm pretty happy with it!

Rikx1M · 05-17-2016, 12:22 AM

Driving along in Virginia and saw this wall of glass blocks and neon lighting so got camera out and did some light painting...

Saw your car on Reddit

remmib · 05-19-2016, 11:11 AM

From my latest shoot of my car.

jmg · 05-20-2016, 01:47 AM

I don't have a rig for real rolling shots and I'm still debating if it's worth it, so I faked it:

Mik3ymomo · 05-20-2016, 01:43 PM

It's not worth it. You can get similar shots using 2 cars and 3 people and just make a rolling shot.
Certain perspectives are lost but you won't use the Rig all that often. At least I don't.

The shot looks technically fabulous. Problem with Rig shots is sometimes they don't make sense with the context they are in. Your car looks like it's going fast, quickly turning. Either it's coming from off the dock or its heading off the dock.

I make the same mistakes and don't see the effect until later because I'm immersed in the technical part of the shot.

Here is one of mine speeding towards the Delaware River. Same problem with Comp.
