I know this isn't up most of this congregations alley, but there's a few that dig it. So here's a roller of the 53 from over the weekend. I shot it off a boom arm on remote trigger (like I did the burban shots last year).

Hands down one of the best things Ive gotten into in the automotive world. If you ever have the means, just pull the trigger - you won't regret it.

Can you post a picture of you setup?

I want to do a few shots like this.

What are you using? Boom etc.

I have 0 rig stuff....... but do have a nice DSLR.

Awesome photo and who wouldn't like this??

Hard core ford guys because it's a GM drive train. I get snarls and nose turn ups all the time in that regard. GM enthusiasts because it's a ford. It's a funny world out there.

Well, i'm pretty big anti-ford due to my loyalties to GM but when it comes to classic iron all that goes out the window for me especially on a clean build like that. I love the old stuff!!!

Good - here's a couple cell shots during setup. Just some info on the rig setup.

Boom arm is 3 piece threaded each section is 4ft for 12ft overall
2 cups
1 manfrotto magic arm (arm mounting/holding camera)
3 clamps (2 on each cup to latch the boom, 1 to latch the magic arm to boom)
1 remote trigger - mines a shoe mount, depending on your cam, you may be able to get a mini remote not requiring the shoe. This particular shoe mount version functions in 360 degree where as typical trigs need front side line of site.

You will get over dangling your gear out there after a few uses. First couple you'll eat all your finger nails and suck all the o2 from the air several times.

Lastly, get ready to learn stuff about photoshop you never intended on knowing..

I was wondering how long from our conversation it would take you to ask...


:signs8:

:win: I figured the only way to know is to ask the man himself :D
