Bellato Donating Members 2,713 Member For: 14y 21d Posted 04/11/12 02:52 AM Share Posted 04/11/12 02:52 AM Couple of questions1. How do I take photos with that effect of the lights of cars streaming across the screen? Have to slow the shutter speed down?2. Guessing this is a photoshop question but how do you take pictures and make the bonnet fade away to see the engine bay? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This has been shrunk a bit too, full size photo is ~167mb! 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
