Thanks for that incredible link. It certainly explains many of those photos found in magazines! I only wish they had the photo taken next to each one. It looks scary, but remember the car only needs to be moving 2mph to achieve the speed effect.

 

I check that site every day. Most of those guys are really good. A lot of them were regulars on the old automotivephoto.com site.

Be advised: if you post a photo for critique, you'll get honest feedback from working pros. They're not rude about it, but there's not a lot of syrupy "great photo" backslapping.

 

ANyone else having their roads bump the batteries out of the camera? I've got the mount nice and stiff but one crappy strech of road (we have a 3 per mile minimum to meet so you know you're in Chicagoland without having to check a map) and the batt gets knocked out. Course my current photos have dead on sharpness Just nothig post worthy yet (but I keep trying to raise that bar)

 

interesting rig on APN...http://community.automotivephoto.net...read.php?t=872

 

Handheld snapshots, didn't want to take time to fiddle with my improved interior mount

 

Not MINI; Not Mine not motion; just some inspiration to some of the others in this thread.

 

posted in the AMVIV thread but probably belongs here as well; shot this pic of Melissa's car on the way back from the track. Not much motion in the shot but it was taken at 60+ mph... A similar shot but in color can be found here...

 

 

Nice pics everyone!

GP in motion

 

I was trying to get curve pictures, almost threw this out just because.

 

 

 

i was never a big fan of red and always biased towards my dark grey, but when i saw this i was amazed. i think thats a great colorway with the red roof and wheels, thumbs up man

 

These are a few shots that I tried at MOTD5 with a 2pt mount attached across the rear seat headrest posts. It was pretty steady considering it was supporting the weight of a Canon 20D & lens for ~.25 seconds shutter. I want to build a 1pt headrest mount and move the camera up to the front seat to capture less of the interior, but I think I'll lose some of the stability in the process.







After the fact, I wish I didn't have the can of Coke in the cup holder, but it seemed pretty necessary at the time .

 

Konky, was this taken from a chase vehicle?

Thanks thebillsman. Basic color theory and harmony (learn the rules, then break 'em ) as a 50/50 mix of red/green is naturally pleasing to the eye. Helps when the red is of a nice looking Mini.

MOE4me, you may want to take a look in the previous posts here on the Filmtools mount to the interior windshield as those are pretty stable. Take a look at my sig photo or in my gallery for going the opposite direction, very wide, with a similiar camera mount to what you used.

So far the most stable setup I've found for use inside the car however was with a tripod that has a hook on the bottom of the center post which was cinched down on something. I've got some more experimenting to try...

 

Hey what are the black rims in the first pic? size?

 

Taken on the top of Mt. Washington last week as part of MINIs on Top:

 

subscribed for nice pictures

 

This was taken last Sunday at NHIS at the Minis-only ADSS put on by the White Mountain Chapter of the BMW CCA. 30 Minis turned out for the event. Excellent day!

 

Here are a few from AMVIV this year...

 

great pictures!!

 

This pic is DOPE!!!

I checked out your site konky, REALLY nice stuff!!! I wish I could take pics even half that good.

 

I'm no pro, and this was with a point and shoot, but I like it anyway:

 

rolling motion in the tunnel....thats my contribution to this killer thread! keep them coming!
