Ollie
Uploaded: September 27, 2007
This is my son Jay, out doing some tricks on his skateboard. This move is called an Ollie. He was about 4-5 inches up off the ground. :D I lasso'ed him, reversed the selection and put in a spin blur, grassian blur, and a motion blur, then added Zephyr. I like the way it turned out. If you have any suggestions on this shot, PLEASE don't hesitate to send me an e-mail. :D :D
HAVE A GREAT EVENING EVERYONE!!

Thank you all so very very much! I appreciate each and every word!Jay also thanks everyone. He was lookin at me funny when I came outside with my camera to take his picture (15 year olds apparently don't like their picture taken...) but he seemed pretty pleased with the end results after I showed him the PS work. LOL
