^No worries m8. We'll do it one day :)

Also, with the rear seats in, I dont know where you would fix the straps.

Nice photos! One thing to comment on, in most of your photos you have the horizon central in the photo. Remember the rule of thirds, it's such a minor thing but it does make photos look so much better :)

You really wouldnt want a harness on a non-bucket seat, mainly because there are no 'holes' to keep the lap straps restrained. Without them they just sit on your lap doing fek all. Don't bother mate unless you get some bucket seats too :)

As Jim says, mine can slot into each other. Only reason I did that is so I can take it apart. A 4m pole would be a bit tricky to put in the back of a clio :) Jubilee clips are good, and very cheap too.

The aluminium poles will cost more than you think, and then you need someone to weld them too, which is not easy (so Ive been told!)

It can be locked yes, but that is nowhere near strong enough to hold the rig up, it might help with vibrations a bit though. That cable is essential, there is a hell of a lot of strain on that cable! That's why I got 3mm steel cable which I think Im right in saying is rated up to 750kg! I think...

Have a look at this post on my blog, you can see a photo where it is clamping onto one of the rails under the car. It's the same the other side. It can be tricky to find places to attach it, and the M3 I did a shoot on had nothing to attach to, so I was buggered lol...

^ Indeed I am. I bought the their pinch kit second hand. The rest is a similar design but I did it all myself, it's A LOT cheaper! There's some decent pics on my blog, should show you everything pretty well. Here's an out-take of the rig on the evo: EDIT: Christ my ass looks HUGE in that...

You might want to try multiple exposures. Try and get a shot that exposes correctly for everything, but if something is too bright (or too dark) take a photo and expose for that, Then combine in photoshop :) Do you shoot in RAW? If you do you will have greater flexibility when changing the...

Thanks again :) Couple more: This is different to the other shot in the set, I prefer this one as the wheels are a bit lighter, and its a tad sharper too :)

Not bad for a first attempt! Just keep practising, and gradually keep lowering the shutter speed :)

lol, Thanks for the support :) I MIGHT be doing a shoot of a Nissan GTR at some point so if that goes well (or happens at all!) then that will help my portfolio too! Speak to you after to get back :)

To be honest....I havent got a single photo printed :( I know it's shameful, but I've never had any reason to do it. Plus I think it goes back to what I said before about having a stronger portfolio before I do anything with it.

^Yeh Im very familiar with his work, I go on another forum and he's a regular too. I think Im right in saying he does shoots for some supercar clubs in the UK! I have thought about going round places asking for shoots, but I wanted to build up my 'portfolio' first, and get some better photos...

lol soz Jay. I did reply, but it didnt send for some reason! Promise!

Sounds great! Are you back in the UK yet? If so, let me know a good time to ring and I'll give you a bell :)

Couple more shots: Not sure about this one, I saw the yellow doors as we drove pass and thought it would either work or not. I think it's ok, I was worried the car would not stand out enough from the background, but I think it's just about ok :)

^ Which do you prefer out of 1 and 10 though? I cant decide!

Thanks again all :) Planetx - Sure thing mate. It's a deal as long as you can get me some killer locations! ;) Do you still have your V6? Maybe we can do a 'mess about' shoot. Nothing too serious, just play about and see what we can learn of each other? Oh....and by then I might even have a...

Im still new to this Flickr malarkey! http://www.flickr.com/photos/27710103@N06/

Thanks again for the comments, much appreciated! Well actually the owner had his camera there, and was taking photos of me, taking photos of his car lol! So here's some out-take shots: (keep the abuse to a minimum please! ;)) And all this equipment transported in my van-spec clio!

Thanks for the comments :) I know what you mean, I want to get a bit better at them, as they can look really good if you know what you're doing. Indeedy :) We were a bit restricted as to what angles we get the rig coming off the car, Ideally I would have liked a bit more head on shot, but...

Hey guys, Did a shoot on a MINT evo 5 yesterday. The hardest part was finding good locations to do the shoot, hopefully I did ok with what I had :) 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. 9. 10. 11. 12. I am still learning, so I open to comments and criticism (as long as it's...

Mine is stripped and almost an everyday car, but I do travel 110 miles to Heathrow fairly regularly so I can comment on this! Pros Better fuel economy Better acceleration Cons Noisy as f**k on motorways Cant hear the CD player You look like a pikey All of the above points are what Ive...

Each to their own :)

That is a bit low. Not sure what could be causing it though. My normal driving returns 38ish mpg.

Stay with HCs, no point on getting the grooved, you wont notice anything. I doubt there is much difference between the lines too, just price!

Yeh, thats a good setup, leave the rears standard :) There is a group buy for most of that stuff I think at the moment.

The RS steering wheel is really good, however the blue bit at the top does fade :( It was the same colour as the belts, but now look at it! Doesn't really bother me, but just thought I'd point that out :)
