Grreat idea (and great photo)!

Care to share the camera details / photographic / Photoshop technique for the motion blur effect?

this was a professional photographer shooting the car for a magazine. He used a "rig" which is a long aluminum boom suctioned to the car. The camera is attached to the end of it and the car is rolled in motion while a long exposure shot is done over 5-10 seconds

I am not a professional (sort of jack of all, master of none), but you could use a long lens, leave lens an short setting, long exposure set, then click and zoom in.-this should give the background effect then shoot the car and photoshop it in. I have not tried this but it makes sense to me. feel free to point out any suggestions or problems with this technique. I will do it in the spring.

I have just ordered some full sized posters from someone on Ebay for $30.
When I get it I will post what they are like.

Any luck?
Close but no proverbial cigar here:

The seller told me they left last week. Turns out the poster I ordered was only 8" x 10", so he arranged to get a pro to blow one up. He said it looks sweet, so when it arrives I will let you know. And he only charged $30 which I thought was really good.

Ummmmm. not that great actually. Pixelated (if thats a word) and just not that great. It will be OK for my garage but not above the bed like I was planning.
I just paid $60NZ for a pixelated crappy poster. Theres half a tank of petrol right there.
I was even going to frame it, but I'm not wasting my money.
Bit disapointed but there you go.

And the original "poster" I ordered was an article cut out of a magazine. Tucked.

As an amateur photographer I can tell you, that is a tough shot to get on your own... Minimum you need two cars and lots of time. Cool thing is with digital you can see your work as soon as it's shot.

So what was the original size and what resolution was it scanned in at?
