A good way to tell if a pic has been PS or shot with a rig, look at the Caliper, when the wheel is moving it will show motion blur, and the caliper will stay in teh same place and stay in focus.
Now if someone is good as PS he can make that caliper not move with the motion blur, but if the whole wheel including behind it twirled then its PS. And if the caliper is not moving then 9/10 its shot with a rig or no ps'ing to it.

Rep Power: 434 you cant really get one unless you have enough money for a k20a (jdm engine) swap cause it costs just about $8000 for a really good one.

Ha! I don't have money to buy my $90 subs, I surely can't afford a DC5 engine, let alone the DC5R u mentioned! I'll just forget about the rig, lol!
... Still, what is it? Got any pics of one?

Rep Power: 434 hahaha i wish i had pictures. there is so much secrecy shrouded around the "rig" that either you make one or you buy one ($200 [my estimate] vs $8000, respectively). i'm going to try to make one this summer break, but no guarantees.
anyways, here's a dead easter egg:
i found a link to a pro rig manufacturer: http://www.move-n-shoot.com/

Ah, I see... so that answered the question I was gonna ask right now.
I was gonna ask if these pictures were rigged... but it seems so. Click on them for big version.
Oh, they have a pic there with a rig, I presume.
Completed pic: http://www.move-n-shoot.com/slidesho...?bildnummer=33
Pic with rig: http://www.move-n-shoot.com/slidesho...?bildnummer=32
Rig and dudes: http://www.move-n-shoot.com/slidesho...?bildnummer=34 (Oh!)
Rig and bike: http://www.move-n-shoot.com/slidesho...?bildnummer=35 (Wow!)
Rig and two bikes this time: http://www.move-n-shoot.com/slidesho...?bildnummer=36
Notice they are numbered and keep on going up... all the rest of the pics are with rigs. That stuff is amazing. Thanks for the website, infinite012.
BTW, they still have to touch up the pictures such as to get the rig out of the picture, right? Only seems logical...
Another thing... the Porsche shot looks amazing. No wonder Porsche always has some kick-*** shots!
I'll never look at car ads the same way, now.

Rep Power: 434 yes, the rig shots are almost always touched up. otherwise they don't look as stunning as the photographer's in-head image.

Rep Power: 321 Its a filter that goes over the lens, you turn it to adjust how much you want taken out or left in.
Infinite told me to take multiple shots and then over lap them to get a velvet feel over the the entire hood.

Great shot Infinite, where did you take that pic 
Drew, very nice pic of the car..I like the effect the polarizer creates.
Very cool Graffiti shots Nick!
Bulding:
da leader?
This pic is not the best example, but when shooting close ups sometimes the foreground is focused and the background out of focuse and vise versa. Most likely I'm doing something wrong, but after trying many set ups, I can't seem to get a whole close up pic focused..like when having subjects in a close up at diferent distances..

. if you have a large aperture (lower f-number), your subject will be more isolated from the background. if you have a small aperture (higher f-number), your background will come more in focus with the subject, but it will never all be in focus. if you are trying to take a picture of a vast expanse/field, then you will either have to use a very high f-number and a super long shutter speed, or get a tilt-shift lens and tilt the lens downward so that the plane of focus is perpendicular to the sensor (i think that's right?). in any case, with an slr camera, you will have to use a very small aperture to get the background to come in focus.
