Hi guys, I like to take statue photography and I want to blend them into real environments but Im not quite sure how to achieve this. I want to add the speeder bike to the woods and add some motion. Any help would be great. I really appreciate this. I have basic photoshop knowledge.

Here is the ST on the Speeder removed from it BG.

This is the forest on Endor.

Here I have opened the ST into the forest document.
I converted the image to a Smart object and used Free Transform to size and position the ST.

Then I added a motion blur filter (smart filter since we have a smart object) and used it's mask to apply the blur to certain areas to give it a sense of movement.

I did this very fast, so it needs some tweaking. But you get the idea.

No problem, just follow some of the tutorials I posted in post #2. These will help you in figuring out the techniques I used.

Good luck and I can't wait to see your results.

Feel free to ask any questions.

Excellent job! You have a very nice result.

I made one blurring the BG as well. I just thought the other way was more realistic.
I was just working very fast to get something out for you to see. I would have to play with the lighting.
