Hi Frances,

The feel of the shot definitely works, nicely imagined!

Now down to business :o)

I see from your images that you haven't found a good technique for preventing halos when you blur the background. One good way to do this is to cut out the foreground, so in this case the windsurfer, into a new layer. Then you can use the rubber stamp and smudge tools - very carefully - to remove the foreground object from the background shot.

Obviously you can then apply your blur, in this picture it was motion blur, to the background only so that you don't get any of the foreground information blurred over the background, then comp in you foreground.

Now you didn't get any bleed of the foreground into the background in this shot, as you left the selection of the windsurfer loose, in which case you got a halo of unblurred background around him.

This technique takes time, but it'll let you get onto the next level of retouching, which I'm sure is the idea :o)

Enjoy

Martyn
 
Martyn you are right on the money pretty much that's what I did.
Thanks for the info. I need that extra touch for the next one.

Thanks again for taking your time to respond and share your technique...
you bet I will give it a try.

Frances.
 
Love it! One of your best shots I think.

With the 10x (what are you using to get this the Nikon/Oly combo?), what is the 35mm equivalent focal length? I've been shooting with a big 100-400 zoom on my work D30 and wish I had a "long lens" for my personal CP950.

115 mm (3 x)
115 by 2X(TC-E2) =230 by 1.7X (OLY/B-300)= 391mm
so Total zoom 391mm.

Thanks.

Frances.

PS: I wish for more...600mm will be nice to have you can do it in the D30.

Yeah, the 100-400 becomes a 160-640mm on the D30. Sweet!

With the help of PS anything is posible....I did a fast one here I'm sure following Martyn way I can get a better result. The idea was to create the illusion....and it did work!

regards.

Frances.
