A before and after set in car photography.
Shots taken on D70, Tamron 70-300 (crap lens actually, soft on the edges)
Both cars shot between 7pm and 8:30pm on the same night.

The Photoshop PP in the montage include:
Path tool
Selelction
Layer modes
Adjustment layers (levels/curves)
Healing brush
Motion Blur
Gausian Blur
Drop shadow
Hue/Saturation (colorize)
...and probably some I've forgotten.

Out of your two posts, I much prefer this one.

A few small points. In the top three, there are current cars in the background, either clone them out or reshoot.

In the second line, middle photo, you can see a tripod through the windscreen.

Great compilation you put together, well done,

André

i like the montage it looks great but in the full shots of the car the background is a bit distracting

cheers zsolt

I think you guys are missing the point...the montage is made from the stock shots on the bottom is how I read it. I think the montage is excellent and a testament to some good Photoshop skills. The colour choice is outstanding.

You're right Matt,

I was looking at it as a full poster like with montage on top with some detail photos on the bottom. So the poster is only the top half :roll: :roll:

I understand quick if you explain long enough.

I liked it before and still love it :D :D

cheers,

André

I guess I should have explained it a bit more.
Yes the shots below the montage are the "before" shots that where used to create the montage above.
The montage was then printed 50x40cm on an Epson 9600 wide format inket on Ilford Satin finish paper.

Great montage job.

The only issue I have is the 'flat' front tyre on the profile shot. Would have been nice if you could have rounded it out similar to that of the rear tyre. This is exacerbated more by the round vent sitting in close proximity to said tyre.

But as I said great work!

An excellent montage with very nice PP skills..I like how the car colour blends in with the background and the three "poses" which show front back and side profiles.
