Seeing Motion

Photography has its limits.  I bought a couple of Q Steer RC cars.  These toys are really small and are fun to play with (I’m young at heart :) ).  I want to take a picture of them while in motion.  Unfortunately, with the equipment I have, it’s impossible.  The only solution left is to do a digital post edit using Photoshop.  I used radial blur and motion blur filters. After some manual editing I was able to achieve the effect I want.  

EDITED PICTURE:

ORIGINAL PICTURE:

Just in case you’re wondering I used the pencil to create the “centrifugal force” effect as the car turns to its left.
