Trying to learn Photoshop...feedback?

[ProjectCorolla]

so as you can see, i'm trying to learn how to do motion shots with photoshop. any helpful tips would be appreciated!

your reflection in the door kinda kills the whole 'motion' thing

I would personally blur the background and the wheels - that's my preference.

It's how it would look on a real photograph with a pan shot.

thats what a car looks like when u use nos in video games

i know the effects you're using and well if you're trying to obtain a motion shot you're better off selecting out the car (yes its a long and tedious process) and blurring the background + motion blur, then select your rims and do a blur with those. that would simulate a professional rolling shot where the camera man is panning at the same rate as the car is moving.

it all depends on the effect you want to give audiences/yourself.
best way to learn all this is just to look at shots u like online, and try a multitude of ways to get it to look like them. Eventually you'll get it, but you're going to realize that you dont want to do this for every picture you take....haha

have fun with this powerful tool.

this is KIND of what i mean. this is an actual rolling shot tho.

Couldnt have said it better

[ProjectCorolla]

are these better?

[95WhiteCamry]

last 2 pics are really good.

[RedPhoenix]

3rd one is good, the 4th one is nice, but its drifting, without thread marks or smoke!

[ProjectCorolla]

last one for the night



i think this one is my best so far...

i can do them in about 5 mins or so now. but my friends can do them in 2 mins...lol

On your second set of pics, the first two look like a stationary car with blurred wheels. The third looks perfect, but the fourth isn't convincing because if it was moving at that angle, your rear tires would be smoking. Overall, a big improvement though.

getting better! needs a driver

[ProjectCorolla]

haha that's why i tried tinting the windows hehe

yeh that 4th pic in the second set was just to practice. it's not very realistic at all..lol

what do you guys think about that last one i posted though?

[Mayur]

That last pic you posted there is really nice. Thats how it should be done.

[nodrogkam]
