I had to take these with my iphone as my cam is broke but,
This has given me the motovation to mend my cam so i can use that and get better at it and use my other lenses to get a wider shot

Interesting.
How did you trigger the iPhone to take the photos?
Is that a cheap tripod, it looks like my cheap Hama tripod? Not sure I would trust my DSLR on that tripod stuck to a car.
You probably need to work on the mounting of the camera so that the legs of the tripod/mount/rig do not end up in so much of the shot, otherwise you'll have a lot of editing to clone it out.
Good work though, it's got potential.

that's quality!
As said getting the legs out of the shot would be the next step :wink:
-
Good effort. Nice cut-price homebuild.

yeh its a cheep tripod and can handle enuf w8 for a proper cam as i put mine on t test it but becaus the settings button is broke i went down the iphone rute...
I used a app called SlowShutter and it does wat it says is a slow shutter app that u can also have on a timer so i press take pic then however many seconds u set it for it will start the pic..
This was my 1st attempt and the top two pics are to show the rig, the next stage is to learn to mount it so its hardly in frame and then use P-shop if there is. but its sumit ive always wanted to try and i found the suction cups on ebay so went for it..
the cups are prity cool to there copys of the ones they use for Gopro's so there prity good.
