ZOOM!
A little experiment I've been working on with my Nex-5....
Re: ZOOM!
Mission accomplished I would say! Was it hard to produce?
I would clone out the numbers plate though. Better a white plate than this warp thing. The lights are a bit wobbly too, looks a bit nervous. Maybe you could PP them straight? Also, did you shoot it from another car? Through a window or not? I find the lights in the right side of the frame a bit hard to explain looking at the scene. They seem to be refections in a window. All IMHO. I personally don't have the skills to produce such a shot. Great work Lonnie, really!

Re: ZOOM!
Not that hard technically, from a photography point of view. Engineering-wise, it's been a little difficult to figure out how to make this work (ie the wavy lines). I've got about $100 in equipment needed to get this shot.mvanrheenen wrote:Was it hard to produce?
Nope! Guess again!mvanrheenen wrote: Also, did you shoot it from another car? Through a window or not?

Re: ZOOM!
That is a very pro looking shot Lonnie. Equal to the car magazines I'd say. As to technique, is it similar to a "dolly zoom" that they do in the movies where the camera is zoomed, and moved closer to the subject at the same time? I'm dying to know how you did this! John
If the last thing you remember hearing is somebody yelling 'CLEAR!!!', assume you've had a problem!!
a77, a700, a200, Minolta 8000i, NEX C3, NEX 5N and more lenses than my wife suspects!

Don't worry, I'll spill the beans soon enough. In the interim, here's a hint. Think about the motion in the shot and what's moving and what isn't. Remember, all motion is relative.
That should get you started.

Re: ZOOM!
Ahhh some sort of boom I'll bet. The car is probably moving very slowly...

Re: ZOOM!
Here's an OOC JPG (dust spots and all) showing the rig before it's removed via cloning.
On the part you can't see, I have the center column to a mini-tripod (to decrease weight) and ball head u-bolted to a curved piece of pipe that's attached to the boom. the tricky part is keeping to whole thing from bouncing as you move the car.
