I took the photo at the 47th Autorama in Fresno CA. The truck is built from one of Chip Foose's drawings. I heard it cost $250,000 to build.

Play on borders and letting the car flow outside of the frame along with the blur on the background gives this photo the feel of a toy truck. Using a blur is a good way to get rid of the busy background that happens at most car shows.

Yes, the truck comes to front as what you need to see! I used to use some tactics like this when I was designing newspaper pages. :)

is fun how you can focus the eye with a few little tricks.

It really does look like a toy! Amazing what a little photo editing can do. I like the way you played with this. It reminds me that I gotta play with photos a little more.

What program do you use mostly for photography editing? Just curious. I used to a shoot a lot but when I did I shot film, so digital photography is a whole other world to me :)

I have used Photoshop since it was in Beta in the mid 1990's I have shot over 100k photos so I am so glad I have moved on from film... the days of paying for film then paying for developing then paying for prints.... Man the new generation have taken more photos of them selfs than pro photographers use to take in a years time.

So yeah I use photoshop have the latest cc2018 pay as you go version Not really happy having to pay for software monthly but I use it for my Vehicle wrap design work so It really is a non expence. I would love to find a good open source program that would let me do what I know how to do in Photoshop. I design vehicles at full scale so the files get to be 4 or 5 GB each. Good thing is computers keep getting faster and it takes less and less computer to be able to do my work. What use to take 20 min to save a file now saves in under 20 seconds.
I took this photo over 10 years ago it was one of my first sets of digital shots when I hit reset on life and started over down my path as an Artist.

When I shot film I was in high school and could use their dark room for free, so I developed everything myself and could use their materials because I enrolled in a class. They lent out cameras but I had my own, a present from my aunt(I admittedly wasn't knowledgeable enough at the time to remember what camera it ws). I eventually had to sell it for rent and I regret it quite a bit.

I always have had a good eye but being that my only background is film I have no clue about digital editing. I'm 25, and other than the film camera I had in high school I haven't really had consistent access to a camera until now. My girlfriend has her brother's Nikon D40 that I play with from time to time now. Like I said, I'm very foreign to digital photography, and am too broke to pay for a Photoshop subscription. Do you have any suggestions for any free programs for an introduction to digital editing? I don't need anything fancy, just something better than the programs offered on my computer that just put filters on my photos :)
