That's a real beauty. As others have remared - very worthwhile project.

My head is spinning ann Hi Ann, The car was parked on a road in front of some trees. I shot it with the DA*60-250 at f5.6, 1/250th, with a BW circular polarizer on the lens, adjusted to eliminate most reflections in the sheetmetal. After converting it, I outlined the car with the pen tool, then selected it with a 2 pixel feather. I inverted the selection and applied a motion blur to the background. Then I retouched any edges where I saw any artifacts from the selection process. I also had to eliminate some ghosting in front of the car. The PhotoShop tool seems to ghost a bit fore and aft. Once I was happy with the basic background blur, I selected the areas that could be seen through the windows and blurred them the same amount. Next, I did the reflections in the windshield, changing the direction of the motion blur to conform to the slant of the glass. I did something similar to the reflections in the roof. Finally, I selected the shape of each tire with the pen tool and applied a radial blur. Voila! High-speed pan. paul stenquist wrote: Thanks for that.

Re: PESO Dodge
Thanks Larry. It is a nice car. It was a 1970 Dodge Coronet that came with a 318 cid ugly motor. It was restored as a resto mod. Made to look like a Super Bee. It has a 535 cid motor, putting out 675 horsepower and 750 ft. lbs torque. It does a quarter mile in 9.4 seconds at 150 mph. Spotless inside, outside and downside. Well crafted automobile.

On May 21, 2010, at 8:29 PM, Bruce Dayton wrote: Very nicely done, Paul. Care to elaborate on your technique at all? Sure. The car was parked on a road in front of some trees. I shot it with the DA*60-250 at f5.6, 1/250th, with a BW circular polarizer on the lens, adjusted to eliminate most reflections in the sheetmetal. After converting it, I outlined the car with the pen tool, then selected it with a 2 pixel feather. I inverted the selection and applied a motion blur to the background. Then I retouched any edges where I saw any artifacts from the selection process. I also had to eliminate some ghosting in front of the car. The PhotoShop tool seems to ghost a bit fore and aft. Once I was happy with the basic background blur, I selected the areas that could be seen through the windows and blurred them the same amount. Next, I did the reflections in the windshield, changing the direction of the motion blur to conform to the slant of the gas. I did something similar to the reflections in the roof. Finally, I selected the shape of each tire with the pen tool and applied a radial blur. Voila! High-speed pan. The main giveaway is the the reflections in the car. They should be a little soft on the edges. But I like the way they look well defined. It's all fantasy in any case, so a better fantasy is a better option. Could I shoot it this well? It would be tough to get that much background blur in a useable exposure. The best way to do it for real would be in reduced light at twilight with flash to help freeze the car.

Re: PESO: Dodge Challenger Race Package
Holy moly. That's fast. I worked for a time at a Dodge dealership in San Diego. Ralph Pearson, the old sand dragger, was a servicewriter there. His son, Ralph, Jr., had a 1967 Belvedere with an aluminum block 440, dual Holly 4-barrel double pumpers with nitrous. It was a door slammer but it was all decked out with wheel tubs, fuel cell and a parachute. He used to run the car at Carlsbad all the time. That car never ran a 10 flat. That's one fast Mopar.

Well, different viewers see things differently, and I could easily be an outlier from the curve. :-) When initially viewing the photo, I interpreted it as something that'd been added in post, which I now know to be wrong. I'm not sure either what could have caused that effect. If the rest wasn't well focused, I'd wonder if it came from a slight change in the zoom setting on the lens. I think the Pz-1 cameras could do that automatically with the Power Zoom lenses. On closer inspection, it looks like motion blur from slight changes in panning speed, but that's contradicted by the sharpness of the car's body and the lack of similar halos on the interior parts of the car's image. I had a somewhat similar shot from the Petit le Mans this year. On mine there were two well focused images just maybe 20 or 30 pixels apart horizontally. I finally decided that what'd happened was I'd had a hitch in my panning where I either sped up or slowed down with relation to the car momentarily, but otherwise tracked it accurately.

Re: PESO: Dodge Challenger Race Package
Thanks Doug. Hmmm, I could clone the halo out. It's due to a shadow in the rear. Don't know what caused it in front. I thought it contributed to the sensation of motion, but perhaps it's distracting.

What are you trying to say with it? ]'-) The question is whether there is something in the photograph that can be expressed to your satisfaction. If so, then it's not 'crap', it's a photograph that you worked on *for a reason*. If not, then you can call it whatever you like. The fact that you spent a good bit of time 'messing about with it' indicates that you feel it isn't crap and that there's something in it that is appealing to you. I would suggest that you stop messing about with it, study it for a while, and decide what you want to get out of it. Then go back into whatever editing software you use and see if you can get it in a more directed, intent driven fashion... After that, you can decide whether it's crap or not. :-) Godfrey -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net
