Wow, loving the last two, looks like something that could be used in a marketing campaign or something. Good work mate.
Does a rig attach to a second chase car?

Thanks, no it attaches to the car in the shot. 3 metre aluminium tubing (in 2 sections) 1.5" od with a 10 gauge wall, two manfrotto 241 pump cups, superclamps and a 155RC head to attach the 50D.
Those last two shots I was really happy with, I was trying to get the contoured look so we tried a few shots with the Speedlite flashes (430EXII & 580EXII) on either side and triggered with the ST-E2 on the camera.
The location for those was on a business park, in some ways it's perfect for these shots as the some of the office buildings have this parking space underneath with the corrugated ceiling & strip lighting. Unfortunately security were a bit fidgety (especially as we'd turned up in these cars) but let us stay for a couple of hours.
The static shots were taken between 11pm-12:30am lol.
What I've found, as a limitation of the ST-E2 (and any IR transmitter for that matter) is that for backlit shots there's no LoS. So I've sold the ST-E2 and will use the command functions on the 580EXII for some stuff and will also buy some RF triggers so I don't need to worry about LoS. It'll give me more flexibility

Eh? How come we can't see the pole or whatever it is that attaches to it?

The magic of the clone tool
I actually found the warp tool to be just as useful as well.

Great shots Rob, all great but especially like last 2, makes the car mean and stealthy as hell!
