Well, it isn't straight and the background is a little blurred, but good first effort winkwink

Nice photo indeed. How did you get the effect of movement on the background? (Forgive me; I'm a numpty when it comes to Photoshop)

I didn't use photoshop apart from the border - All I did was to clamp the camera to the car (to get the car sharp in focus) then pushe the car out (or in) to my dad's garage slowly with the camera on a shutter speed of about 2-5 seconds (depending on lighting conditions

The background colours is just the random stuff in the garage, like paint cans etc.. and the rest is just the warmness of the light as I didn't shoot in Raw format

- I did try to keep the explanation simple, but failed a bit..

George - perfect explanation - and probably a damned sight quicker than trying to get the same effect on a computer!

But Arnie, I thought that you would be glad that you wasn't the only person that is known to have to push their car given the amount of times you break yourslaughwinkbiggrin
