Got some great shots of Lekan's F-body yesterday. Gorgeous day out....and we took advantage of it. Thanks to GVR4Johnny for driving the wagon for the rolling shots.:banana1: :) The car looks hot Lekan...love the wheels.

Nice work as always J! Thanks for letting me "tag along".

Lekan, I have to say I was really impressed with the car. It's come a long way! :thumbsup

We strapped J to the roof of the wagon with some bungee cords and then did about 80 on the Hoan bridge. He was a little frazzled after the shots, but the end result seemed to be worth it! :)

you need a car without bumpy 18" wheels, non-wisconsin bumpy roads, a bright sunny day, a nice car to shoot, some ear plugs, goggles to keep the bugs out of your eyes and oh som camera settings that I didn't pay much attention to :goof

You had a chance at my little 4-door econo box last night on Lincoln and National. But you stayed behind me. Didn't want to get embarrased by the WHT RICE did you??? :rolf

A truck might of worked good for you and you might of been a little less worried.

I would not want to ride in the back of a pick-up going 50mph with a camera.

We could teather you in the back of the Suburban with the tailgate open next time. At least you would be protected from the elements that way and could actually use a tripod too...

You know Johnny, you might be on to something there! Does the rear window roll down in the Burban? I don't need the tripod. It just might be easier to shoot out the rear of that instead of the wagon. Pros use minivans and literally HANG out of the side door doing 50-60mph!

Thanks everyone for the comments on the photos. Lekan's car was a fun car to shoot:thumbsup
