Hadn't used my automotive rig in years and forgot how nerve racking it is to have my camera hanging on a 15' pole attached by two large suction cups, but it was worth this shot!

Where do you have this pole suction cupped to your Vette? And, does the pole ever show up in the photo? And then require you edit the pole out of the photo? Or how does the pole not show up in the photo?

Suction cups are mounted to rear glass. They are safe to mount to paint, I just didn't do it this time. Pole is Photoshop'd out.
