Hehe, you threw another one at me huh! Man i see sheen on a clean black Optra, these days in my nightmares!
Thanks Rudra.

@Extreme
All you need to do is, select the area using pen tool, then don't disable the pen tool, rather come inside the area you have marked, right click and click on on make selection. Then copy and paste. and do the alteration. Actually this is destructive in nature, as in it permanently deforms the pixels, so a better way to do this would be masking off the unwanted part and using adjustment layers. I told you this, so that in future you can Google out more on masking.

HAhaha. Sorry about that! But I had to shoot it for a friend! I am doing the balancing act by posting this now!



@tortoiseNhare
Well, browse through the rules of the Auto image thread, I dont think this image fits in the category, rather It should be in the Accidents thread!

@TorqueGuru & Rudra - amazing photos you have posted and the retouching seems out of this world. Please post some tips on photographing cars that are not black in color.

[Torqueguru]

Well, cars of any color look best with clean reflections, so shooting them at wide open places is a good idea. The rest, is upto you to experiment. And thats the best way to learn.

Black or darker cars more difficult to shoot because you need overcast or evening sky. It is hard to correctly expose darker cars in bright light, as in afternoon sun. You'll either overexpose the surroundings or underexpose car.

However lighter color cars are easier to shoot in most lighting situations since the the difference between the tones of car and the surrounding area are managable. However, is it important to know the zone system well, so that you don't overexpose the car. While shooting white cars, it is very easy to overexpose it.

Rear wheel is out of focus due to second shutter curtain travel time. This happens while using slow shutter speed.

@Rudra
So is there any way in which I can overcome that ?

@Riju
Well here a compensation for the rear wheel blur. I figured out how to avoid em. You can avoid em only if the pan is exactly parallel to the motion of the subject. he bike was taking a turn and my pan was not exactly parallel to its motion.
