How about putting the camera on the car, and then putting a mirror up to it so it can take a picture of itself mounted on the car?

Regards, Greg

Greg, that would make for more work, he would have to redraw the photo in mirror image else everthing would be backwards, thus confusing us "old putzes".

 

Ok so here's the camera and the car. Picture taken by Steven Andrew

 

One more Shot by Steven Andrew MORE PHOTO'S TO BE TAKEN and posted around 8/9/10.

Not without the use of mirrors or a second camera .

Dave, if you were "quick on the feet"Clown for this one, you could have sliced up a 2x4 and called it a camera.WinkLaugh

Vidio Car
Posted by dwbeckett on Sunday, July 25, 2010 9:20 AM

This is an easy way to take track level Vidio's. I use a rubber band to hold the camera. The passenger car truck belong's to Aristo smothside that was droped about 11-12 ft when we were moving back to Oakley. last year. Part's are needed for the other truck along with 2 boulsters.

 

This is the vidio that done using my Olympus FE280, and was shot about 2 mounth's ago.

Thing's have changed alot since this vidio was taken, The next vidio will shot on 8/9/10.
