Photographers Comments
This one is for JamieD50. Noticed your light painting and the comments you made the other day ref tutorial I sent. Took the picture yesterday (daughters friend) and had a go at my version of the advert. Maybe you could use similar with your DJ/Club pics ???.
Cheers

Use a 4pixle brush set to white. Draw straight lines. Place all lines on one layer, Filter distort wave and play with settings. Then add layer style outer glow to your liking No vectors used. You can alter brush size for effect.
Keep at it mate. I am the same with the photography side and I keep looking at the exifs to get some idea of what has gone on. We will get there eventually.
Cheers

He should be. It is an amazing shot for a lad to display to his mates. I would have liked to have seen it in portrait mode and not cut off at the knees, so a full length version was displayed.

Here,s a full length version.

Looks cracking mate...

Think the full length one looks better,just a couple of things though,how hard would it be to get rid of the bottom line over his left arm (our right) that way it would look like his arm was going through the swooshy thing??? and what about putting the COOL behind his head???...

All the edits can be done within five minutes as it is a psd template. Will put the cool over his head on the next one. Thanks for comments.
Cheers

Thanks for the feedback guys. I know my work is vastly different to the majority of work on here so I appreciate all comments good or bad. Been out all weekend with my new toy so I may have something to post soon. I think I will end up working with HDR for the most part as I find it vibrant and different.
One other tip TCO (for those who don,t know). When using the brush or line tool hold the shift key and select the start point of your line, Then just click where you want the line to end and you will have a perfectly straight line.
Cheers
