Good Shot! Did you do that with PS Elements or the full on pro version? I am trying to decide which one to buy. many thanks Roy.

[Reindeer Power!]

elements 2, i'm far too northern to figure out posh stuff...

if you just want to touch up pictures, and do a little fiddling, elements seems fine

Need to rotate it slightly clockwise, as your verticals aren't straight, and that keeps drawing my attention away from the other (clever) stuff you've done.

[Reindeer Power!]

So they aren't... cheers

i have to admit to resisting the urge to look to see if the building are actually at an angle... it's possible round here, after all, these things can happen if you don't replace your spirit level bubble once a year!

Nice one, I tried this with people over the summer with resonable success, and its a good bit of fun isn't it.

I haven't tried it with cars before, but I think I will give it a go.

Lovely pics, and a great car... interesting to see you on the other side of the lens!

I struggled to get the lighting to match up, hence playing with levels and colour so it's not as apparent...

which reminds me, when i look at your 'hot rod diner' style photos, how do you get the colours so vibrant? i assume its done in post production?

They are brilliant. Must have taken hours getting the car so perfectly lined up. How does it work taking multiple exposures? Why isn't the moving bit (the car) underexposed and half transparent mixed with tarmac? (or was this a photoshop cheat?)

Dan,
One doesn't blend images like in film cameras where a final image is "built up" with light, one has "layers" of images and reveal parts of each...then the layers can be "flattened" to make a single image
