Do any of you fellow photographers know what this type of shot is called?
And how do you get the see-through effect?

Whiplash

it's unlikely a shot, prob a photochop
if it is a shot it's just a multi-exposure

szuberi

two tripod mounted shots superimposed on each other. one with the hood closed and one with hood open.

Whiplash

outer edges of the hood are too solid, that's what makes me say Pchop
a multi-exposure would show more continuity

I'm not really a Photoshop guru, but you think I can superimpose two pics together?
I'm gonna give it a try

Whiplash

i think it's done in layers..
drop one on top of another and then erase "thinly"

pitbu11

also decrease the opacity level to around 70 for the motor layer and that will make it look like the hood is see through
make sure the layer which will be showing the motor is ontop of the car/hood closed layer.

I'm going to take some photos of my car today and try it.
But in the open layer (hood open) the hood would show being open. So to do what they did they took off the hood..?

Topher

if you paste closed shot over the engine shot and it would remove the open hoood, then erase thinly, or select the area over the engine and lower the opacity level.

or if you do the engine shot over the closed hood shot, just erase the area where the hood is on the picture that has the hood and because they are one over the other you wont really be able to tell....as long as you do not move the camera what so ever so that the angles and what not are all the same.

same thing as i would have used to do something like this...not sure how long picture will stay up.......

Good luck!

def. use a tripod..

ok well here is my try, what do you guys think?

szuberi

not bad at all actually

Whiplash

looks pretty good..
i'd have left more to the outer edges tho...who wants to see the hood latch/fender bolts etc...know what i mean?? tighten it up
too much tree reflection as well imo, distracting, takes away from the subject...the motor

damn good first attempt tho

Whiplash

oh ya, tone down the motor as well...too defined
pitbu11 mentioned opacity, give that a shot

suno_eg

ya sorry about the tree i didn't realize the reflection when I took it.
So for my second try:
layer 1: open hood
layer 2: closed hood - erased the centre to clearly show the engine.
layer 3: closed hood - set the opacity to 52% and Fill at 71%
* If it wasn't for that tree reflection...and maybe a K swap it would have been better

Whiplash

better, even with the tree
what's with the pixellation at the front of the hood?

mucho better suno

I was messing around with some blending options, must have not set something back to 100%
Thanks guys for the support. Now all my buddies want me to do this to their cars!
