Michael,

I did something up last night. Would you like to see? I didn't want to post it in fear of stepping on your toes or anything..

[tadz0rz]

Post it up for sure man, any help is greatly appreciated

Edit.

Also considering this as another final piece, again not sure how to present it...



EDIT AGAIN.

Image uploader is fucked. xoxo

Before:


After:



I haven't done a whole lot of motion blur to the background, kind of gone for the more subtle look. I think the blur around the car helps a bit though..

I'm just uploading a video to youtube sort of showing how I did it.

Awesome!! thanks Craig

It's just a series of screenshots taken every one second, so it goes pretty fast, but watch it a few times. Keep an eye on the layers pallet.

There was a couple of times where I went ahead and added the blur on the background without feathering the selection so I had to go back and do that.

Notice that I duplicated the car layer and moved the bottom car over to the right a bit so that there was more blurred car towards the rear instead of just even amount of blur at the front and rear.

Legend buddy Its a bit late now but ill be sure to give this a crack in the morning Thank you so much

[craigeth]

No worries. Any questions just let me know.

[tadz0rz]

Hopefully clubCJ's image uploader is working now...

Edit: Guess not. WTF!?

[craigeth]

mate try using dropbox.com

[tadz0rz]

The site blocks any third party photo uploading sites which is insanly stupid!

[PYLee]

just post a random message , and edit the 3rd party image uploader link in

[craigeth]

You upload files into your dropbox, get the public link and paste it here inside img tags. It's what I've done and that works

No worries, design is a tough field, but constructive crit and advice is very helpful. The best to do is like you said, keep playing around with it and experiment

yeap , great comments there from Eric btw , nice shot of panspeeds rx7 ! some 70-200mm in action there ?
