BJ requested a few rig shots and this one in particular gave me a bit of trouble. First off, because of the angle of the rig, the suction cups blocked a lot of the hood requiring a lot of touch up on the actual vehicle. I usually try to minimize that because too much touch up ends up looking cheesy.
Secondly, the pole itself goes through a relatively detailed section. I usually try to avoid that because it’s harder to retouch than a plain ceiling or wall. It took a little doing, but I managed to clone the pole out.
Lastly, I don’t know what it is about silver, but I was having a hard time blending the cloning and the airbrushing I did. Especially when I was trying to remove the shadow of the rig on the car.
Overall, I’m pretty happy with how the shot came out. Just goes to show you what a little patience and a few beers will accomplish.
