Looks sweet Matt! :thumbup:
What lens are you using? Also, how are you metering exposure? I assume you have a remote shutter?

This is just the shitty kit lens, unfortunately it's the widest thing I have. Stop it down and it's reasonably sharp though.
Yeah, I have the IR remote as well.
Edit: exposure is all manual. Just set it and shoot a bunch. People were probably getting a little freaked out just watching me turn in circles in the best buy parking lot. |

Do you have a pic showing your arm thingy mounted?
Jamie |

| ChromeDragon |
| No, I don't. It's just a suction cup mount with a Manfrotto 3-axis adjustable tripod head. |

Really cool Matt :thumbup:
Too bad it looks like someone has been beating you with the ugly stick lately. |

Sounds dangerous! :eek:
The weight of the camera/lens/tripod head isn't enough to break the suction?
I'd me scared to loose my camera. What camera were you using? Digital Rebel?
You should take a pic...I'm interested in seeing how you did this.

| This mount will take like 30lbs, my little 2lb camera isn't going to break it loose. |

Hey
I just realized who you are.
NIce pics by the way.
Where did you get that mount???? locally?
If you used a Canon .... I have an 18-35 L if you want to try something a little wider.

Check out that glorious beardage!
Somehow this pic reminds me of a scene with Paul Walker from "The Fast and The Furious" :lol:

I bought it online, place called filmtools.
The lens I'm using is just the shitty 18-55 kit lens. Sadly it's the widest thing I've got, but stopped down it's reasonably sharp.
I really want to buy a 10-22mm, but that's a ton of money for a lens that's more for fun shots. |

Hey, ChromeDragon, u can rent lenses from mcbains i believe, why dont u rent a couple, test em out, and kinda use em whenever u wanna do some fun shots?! |
|
|
| ChromeDragon |
| Meh, not really worth the time and effort. I'll eventually get a 10-22mm, just not right away. |

| wow Matt, those shots are awesome! |

| Wow Mavrick. Welcome to check the forums a little more often than once a month. |

If I had as much spare time on my hands as you obviously do, maybe I would visit the forum more often. Thankfully, they archive this stuff for a while so that I can have ample opportunity to view it, so for that I am thankful.
Happy Thanksgiving to you too, buddy. :thumbup: |

SO this thread inspired me to get a heavy duty camera mount....... one of those with the industrial type vacuum mounts...
So it holds 70+ lbs.........so I was trying it on different surfaces....
SO I am showing the wife......look I can put it on the wall no problem...
Pump... pump... pump....... pulls the paint/paper covering the drywall right off the wall...... Perfect circle.
The wife was not impressed with the new toy..... but I was...
:D
Had to tell someone. |

That's a nice lens. I'm thinking about getting one as well, also looking at the Sigma 10-20 (aperture is not as wide as Canon). What other glass do you own? |

Not too much. 70-200 F/4L, 28-105 F/3.5-5.6, 50mm F/1.8. That's it for the Canon, then I have a few primes for the Mamiya medium format. |
