How is this done.

Hi all
I am wondering how the following shot was taken as I love this kind of shot and would like to have a go.

Many thanks

Ian.

It's taken with a 'rig' which is then photoshopped out of the final pic, basically a construction of a pole with a camera at the end which is attached to the car and then car is moved along slowly with camera set for a longish exposure.

These threads may help.

Or just search the forum for rig shots. Hope that helps

I was thinking in a lot of Photoshop, could take me two hours but not impossible, but defenitly the second coment maybe right

I've heard of the "rigs" but always wondered
1: How they work?
2: Do they not damage the car ie paintwork?
3: How stable are they?
4: How much Photoshop is involved to remove the "rig" and still retain a natural shot?
Cheers

My apologies, I've just checked the links posted by Gonetae and all the information is there. Thanks

When you think about the amount of work involved setting up the rig, getting a stable photo and photoshopping the rig out in a manner that looks good, I'd argue some kind of directional blur applied on the photo and then the sharp image of the car pasted on as a new layer may be the easier option.
