As in, on sticks while standing/crouched on a truck/van?The world is my tripod and anything that moves is my dolly
So yes… from truck and vans to cars and bikes... taking shoot and move to new meaning.
Ok, now that's just uncalled for.Saw a photog shooting on top of a E-350 a couple weeks ago and had the reporter standing on the roof without a riser/platform on it. The popping and crunching noises made me cringe.
I dig that idea of using a ladder!I used to carry a stepladder in my car and I could open it up flat and tie it down across roofracks to make an improvised shooting platform. Two tripod legs to one roofrack, the third on a ladder rung and there was room for me to stand without denting the roof. If I had time I would strap the bowl of the tripod down to the ladder. Still had to hope no one would rock the van but it worked.
Not for moving shots obviously.
Some here. We actually were allowed to shoot from the roof of one of our vans during an Occupy near-riot, but we were harnessed to the mast of all things. My boss was the one who rigged it up and ok'd it, so I figure he was the one on the hook, so to speak.I shot a Breast Cancer walk last fall and I shot from the top of the truck. Now that I work at a union shop this type of activity can get me fired.
