dont use a tripod, it will actually hinder you more than help you

 

may wanna ask Jon or Don. They both have experience in that style of shooting.

 

shall do. pm'd you Don.

 

responded...tons of stuff u can find via a google search to help you with that

 

figured, but i wanted to hear from someone who has done it first before i google it. thanks for the link tho!

 

anyone with ps knowledge just needs to use the selective heal tool. no need for layering two different pics. but if you have to ask how to remove the rig from the photo(which should be obvious as day to anyone that is familiar with PS), than this task may be a bit too complicated for you. Just read up on how to touch up photos. there's a bunch of tutorial videos on youtube is you are unfamiliar with photoshop.

painting out objects with PS is something I do all the time. The hardest ones are when you have to draw things in the background that was not in the original photo i.e. removing people or large objects and repainting background manually.

 

i want a rig.. and i understand that its pretty safe to have your camera hanging off one if you know what you're doing.. but that is just too scary to have $1200 of stuff hanging off my car like that.. but still nice..

some street art pictures i near my house.. i realize now that maybe a better shot woulda been from further back to show the wall the art was on instead of such a tight crop on the artwork itself.. next time..

and a test picture from my new 35mm f/1.8 wide open.. pretty solid for only 200 bucks..

 

$1200? try $4500

 

That is so true. Could I just have typed in "X2"?

 

exactly.. im scared just to hang that much out the window.. cant imagine how you guys do it..

 

i'm used to putting my camera in harms way...lol

imagine swimming in 15 ft waves with an aluminum casing protecting your camera and super sharp coral underneath u...

 

Make sure when you swing your gear you won't hit anyone or anything. haha And it does take practice. Hardest part for me was the timing and trying to keep pace with the cars because of where my angles are. Do a google search on panning the night before you head out.

 

ha ha just my lens is $1,200.

 

im going to hawaii in the summertime.. gonna see if i can find a decent priced armor to try and take some of them fancy new fangled wave shots..

and im trying to convince my cousin to build a car mount rig because he loves taking pictures of his s2k.. i said he should get some car mount shots.. so devious..

 

a good waterhousing will cost about a grand minimum

 

hot damn.. then i shall take pictures from the beach then..

 

st. Patrick's day spirit?

 

if u wanna get serious bout photography, be prepared to shell out a grand per lens almost all the time, a grand or more for accessories, hundreds just on a good bag, etc etc.

Photography is no where near cheap.

 

serious....i've spent well over 20k on camera equipment

 

so true.. im fine with spending money on lenses that im going to use.. but a grand on armor that im going to use once on vacation isnt practical.. this is a hobby for me because i work 50 hours a week and go to school for 13.. need a release.. or on the other hand.. if i had the acccessories maybe i would take more of those kind of photos.. but who knows.. i do understand that this is an expensive hobby to have.. my girlfriend is yelling at me for upgrading to a d90 when my d60 worked fine and i just bought a old 35-70mm as a walk around and a 35mm prime and im looking into a nice zoom or fish eye.. not as baller as most of you guys yet tho..maybe if i get a raise..
