I feel bad for Ghaz though... he offered to help them by slotting himself as a guide at their upcoming outing, but when he saw the hateful comments about the recent outing to Kampung Glam (with the subsequent C&C session at Parkview Sq), he also felt angered...

Haha, I read also, so funny leh, want to be guide but dont want to teach .....

Because camera equipment depreciates...

That is why I am holding on to my Shanghai home and not buying studio lighting..

:thumbsup: for you bro! Buying property... another good form of investment!

sometimes I feel silly though... want to buy FX, think so hard.
Buy 1 car, the annual depreciation can buy 2 x D700+16-35.... sigh...

hey anyone keen on photographing their cars (moving)?

I'm just wondering if can be done with 2 vehicles, 2 drivers and a photog (handheld camera). Or is a rig absolutely essential?

I think you need a rig if you are going to get consistently good results - hard to match up the speed of the two vehicles consistently (cruise control?)

In fact, I've read that what professionals do is that they are using long exposures (maybe even 2 or 3-stop NDs) and the vehicle being driven really slowly (5-10km/h) to convey the sense of "speed".

 

[frankchn]

Or even better - the car is being pushed by hand out of sight of the camera The point is to avoid the rig falling off the car and avoid vibrations caused by the car engine/road/etc...

heheh yeah I think rig gives higher chance of success... but it's still worth a try if anyone is keen!

I've never seen an actual car shoot before, but your point about the long exposures and really SLOoooooow speed sounds about right!
