Having Fun With Photoshop

I had my Photoshop lesson when I was in college. The lesson just held for a semester (4 months), I'm not an expert but having some basic skills.

To edit the Photo I use as header of my blog, I choose this picture of a Proton Satria Neo running on SIC (Sepang International Circuit / Sepang F1 Circuit):

next, I make some Motion Blur effect to the background:


And finally, I add words and some fixes to the car:


Lastly, the lighting effect:


If you use photoshop frequently and you will wonder, since I said I use Motion Blur effect but why the car doesn't blur at all? And in further how come the car's tail looks blur?
Well I cut the car out from the original picture before I did the motion blur effect, that's the key. As for the tail's part it was made to make the car looks faster, and more nature.


Nice? Let's hope you like it.
