First of all I want to thank everyone for once again showing me a great time. This trip was awesome my friends and I had so much fun and everyone's help is greatly appreciated. I don't even know where to begin with the "The Stig." This damn truck amazed me once again, sure is a tough little bastard. Nothing broken just a little bumps and bruises. Next time I come out this bad boy will have tires, armor, and be lifted so I won't have to look too much for the ˟˟˟˟˟ lines. But nonetheless the car tires made it back home and I still got 25mpg this trip back and forth to LA, with offroading in between. All I can say is "SICK!!!"

You're gonna have to try harder, Eric. Josh and I are professional posers now. But, it was a worthy attempt.

I'm bummed I missed out. That looked like a ton of fun.

Thats right Seth, here's a few pointers for Large Boulder Posing

#1 Good Digital Camera
#2 Take lots of pictures from different angles, as you would of a car accident.
#3 Flex if safe.
#4 Have a dead sexy truck

Some Examples

Simple Silhouette shot on Pancake Rock


Try to practice at home as much as possible


Lights-on always add a nice effect


Low angle for illusion of added height


Include other dead sexy vehicles


Youll be a poser in no time Eric!!


If we need to start a new threat covering the intricacies of posing, so be it.

Good work Josh on explaining to these novices. Taking poser shots is truly a skill that becomes honed. It is not a god given talent. Josh and I have put in countless hours getting the right shots. Sometimes you have to take 100 photos just to get "the one".

To help all the aspiring posers, Josh and I have put together an emergency poser kit. I know when you're new to taking poser shots, little things like remembering to bring a camera can slip your mind. Or even worse, having the camera in the car, but not being egocentric enough to get out and take pictures at every opprotunity.

Our kit was created to remedy these issues.



Our kit includes:

*Disposable "poser" camera -For those times you forget.

*Ballpoint Pen -For keeping track of which angles you have already taken.

*Tape Measure - To verify actual travel in photos and to make sure you are always at proper distances for each shot.

*A red crayon -This item is to be held in the urethra. The only time it can be removed is when you are out of the vehichle to take poser shots. This little piece of "poser insurance" will gaurantee that you come home with mroe poser shots.

*Handy "Poser Kit" bag -To keep all of your items together within safe reach.
