I'm into photoshop and digital imaging, but I have no idea how you do this. Would you mind sharing some of your secrets and perhaps what programs you use? Thanks!

Thanks very much everyone. I am glad you are enjoying these images.

For those that would be interested in creating this sort of artsy scenes, I have posted up a step-by-step method on how I create some of these images. CLICK HERE
Of course there are alot more neat tricks you can use to do them too. It all depends on your imagination
Here are a few more images for you...

Awesome and many thanks! You're the man!

Here is one I made a few days ago. Not as stunning as yours but it's a start!

Took the picture myself from inside a castle (Hohenaschau) in Bavaria, Germany. Where do you get some of high quality pictures such of the Pacific scenery or that castle with the Ju-52 flying past it!? I need to know!

I've played with this a little before.

One thing I found that helped me to get the right balance was to take the colored work and desaturate it. Once you desaturate, you can see things such as lighting much clearer.

As an artist I can tell you that, at least in my opinion, light is the most important aspect. If the light isn't right, the common viewer will feel something is wrong but not be able to identify to problem.

Seeing 'light' is not a knowledge. It is a skill and like all skills training and practice is required. You don't need a teacher for this. You just have to make the effort to analyze the light you see.

Christian, your pic is good but maybe you show try something, if you still have the original pieces. First, without the plane in the pic, lower the contrast of the background. Then add some blur. Next, raise the contrast a little on the plane. Put the plane on the background.

Save it but only as a copy. Desaturate the copy and see if it 'feels' right in black and white.

Try this using different levels.

In your pic the plane and the background looks equally blurred. This doesn't work since the plane and the ground, relative to the viewer, are moving at different speeds. To the viewer, presumably in another a/c, the plane in the pic is moving, relative to the viewer, much slower than the ground and therefore the ground should have more blur.

Just some suggestions.

Thanks for the info, Fritz. Much appreciated!
