Been practicing with this shot, and got ahold of the hot Do-Luck 350Z.
Just thought I'd share!!

 

Did you buy the car? I saw it on Ebay ???

Very nice shots.

 

www.desmondperformance.com snagged the car. They say they're vamping it up some more!

 

They need some shiny wheels to help bring out that color!! Where is the lip!! lol


That thing is sweet!

 

I think what he is saying is that he photochopped the motion blur on a still picture to make it look like its going fast.

 

yep, photoshop owns

 

Yup, specially filters

 

Anyone know how much the car sold for on Ebay?

 

Are going to post of hi-res version of those pictures for my wall paper...) They look great.

 

Great looking shots...Congrats

 

so it's a still shot that he motion-chopped? if that's the case, that's an amazing job! how did he do the wheels so perfect?

 

I want to know how he exposed the whole front caliper without the wheel moving...

 

This is a very easy thing to do and requires minimal practice in photoshop. I will write up a tutorial on this so people can learn how to do it. Its simple but very effective and will give your pictures that "money shot" look.

 

That's easy, he just create a new layer, highlight only the stuff you want "blurred" i.e. background wheels etc... You can create motion blurs, motion blasts, etc.. Once you have done that with your new layer you can grab the eraser brush and erase parts you want to expose I.E. caliper and erase the "blur" out of it. You can mess with different opacity's so that it has that soft look. Again, I will make a VIDEO tutorial so its easier to understand.

 

I was wondering how you'd get a shot with the whole caliper exposed if the wheel wasn't moving, seems like one spoke or another would obstruct your view.

 

great shots and ya i saw it on ebay too and da last i saw it it was at $40,000 if im not mistaken

 

Great shots!
