And again...a rolling mirror!

Thank you! That is very kind.

Did you see the video in 1080p?
Not bad for an iPhone 6...

 

[NastyGT500]

Nice! That was shot on a 6? Very cool!

Amazing detailing work!

Video was not good. Seemed like you forgot to wipe the camera lens before shooting.

Yepper, just an old POS iPhone 6. I did use a DJI Osmo Mobile 3 Gimbal.
This helps tremendously with the wobble and shake with a walk-around.
I've found that 1920X1080 at 30fps seems to work best for social media.

Thanks for the feedback.

I'll be sure and make sure the (pencil eraser) lens is cleaned first from now on.
Sadly, there was a lot of "lens flare" from the sun while I did the walk-around.

Ah yes... could have been glare from the sun too.. i didnt think about that.

I only mentioned the possibility of a grimy lens because that always happens to me to the point where im obsessed with wiping the lens on my shirt before all cell phone pics hahha.

Great job though! All of these deep blue colors look absolutely stunning when an artist like yourself gets to do his work for a few hours.

When I remember, I try to clean it the iPhone lens with a microfiber towel or the cloth I clean my glasses with.
I'm pretty sure that over the years the tiny iPhone (pencil eraser size) lens has acquired some scratches and fog.

Thank you for your kind words! Yep, this particular car took a little over 40 hours to clean, polish and coat.
