Rolling shots for everyone

Last week i got a few guys together after work to get in a little practice with the the rig and the camera. I had some great shots and some not so good shots. I learned that i need to stabilize the rig. Right now it's bouncing up and down because of the weight of the camera. I'm currently looking into setting up a stabilizing cable.

Also one of my friends was suggestion i separate my automotive photography from my general photography page because some people will get bored seeing so many car photos. So with his help PROJECT 62 was born. Currently in the process of designing a logo/watermark to brand the photos.... that's it for now.

Oh, if anyone wants rolling shot feel free to contact me. Because this takes so much time to set up, gas to go on location and time to edit the photos, I'm charging a small fee of $40 per car if you are in the Seattle area.
(Kent, Renton, Bellevue, Kirkland, Redmond, Issaquah....)

I ended up getting a decent deal on the parts needed to put the rig together so i finally did it. There are some things i still need to improve on it, but i think i got the basic part done, the rest is no rush.

I used the
2 Avenger F1000 Pump Cup with Baby Swivel Pin

3 Manfrotto 035RL Super Clamp with 2908 Standard Stud - Replaces 2900 - Black

1 Manfrotto 196B-2 143BKT 2-Section Single Articulated Arm with Camera Bracket (Black)

2 10 ft pipes from Home Depot.

I only used 15ft section because I'm shooting with a Tokina 11-16mm Lens Canon EOS, Nikon and here are some of the results. I will be posting more photos later as i will be doing a lot more of these.
