Just added another photo into the calendar submissions.

I'm just having some fun with photoshop placing my car in different backgrounds. I don't know if anyone likes these but they are fun to put together.

I have been looking on supercars.net in there wallpaper photos for ideas. They really have some cool photo's there. :cool: I just yank out their car and replace it with mine with the help of some photoshop magic.

You might have a real cool shot of your car but the background in the photo just does not work. If the lighting on your car is good it just might fit into one of these cool backgrounds that gives your car the full attention without the distractions of a bad background.

I know its getting crazy now with the holidays around the corner but if anyone would like me to help put their car in a cool background, I would love too when I have a little more time...free of course!

Again this might not be for everyone, but I'm just trying to be a little creative.

Here is an example. A nice shot with poor background. Again keep in mind the lighting of the car to match up with the new background must be very close to make it work.

I'm no pro at this and still learning as I go along having fun.

Dave - you may have opened a floodgate with your great offer to dress up our cars with PhotoShop.

I would really like to have a nifty backround done for mine with the end thought of putting/printing the picture on a T-Shirt. What type of file do you prefer? Jpeg, TIFF, ?? Resolution?


Thanks......Jim

P.S. Certainly won't need it anytime soon as T-shirt weather is pretty much gone for the next 5-6 months around here.
