I have been photographing MINIs in motion since July 2004. In the months since then, I have invested considerable time and effort into refining my methods and honing my automotive photography skills.
All of the photos below were taken on location in Southern California, utilizing either a Nikon D70 or a Nikon 4300.
The following are examples of my MINI motion photography. They range from the very first motion photographs I took, in the top left corner, to the most recent photos, in the lower right.
Very nice motion shots, i wish i could afford a D70, untill then, gotta live with my 200$ camera.
Quick question, do you drive w/o the center caps all the time, and if so, did you change the bolts to match the wheels? I also have the 16's and am just wondering how it looks....
Yeah, I didn't like the way the wheel caps looked, and the wheels look pretty good without them. Initially I also did it because I was autocrossing more and wheel bolt torque was check more frequently. The caps were a bit of a pain. I'm just using the standard black MINI wheel bolts.
Sounds good! Ill have to pop mine off tomorrow and clean them up then roll around w/o them, see what people think. Hopefully the 16's wont be on to much longer...
Awesome and very interesting! Have you thought of getting a remote shutter release so you can actually drive the car while taking the pics instead of pushing? And where did you get the tripod and suction cups?
I'd like to get a remote shutter release, but it's not a top priority for me, considering I haven't had a need to get more time than the self timer permits.
There are some tips for suction cup suppliers in the camera mount thread.
DiD, what type of mount are you using. I want to play around with this, but want to get something that is secure enough to put the D70 on... Any suggestions??? I was trying to find something on the Bogen site, but getting a little side tracked looking at all the cool pods and mounts. Thanks in advance!
