First Skate Sequence

[Chris.]

So this was my first time shooting skateboarding. I just went out with some friends for a bit. This was actually my first time "out" shooting with my own camera. So ya I'm a noob :)

1. Canon 18-55 f/3.5 IS | 1/500th | f/4.5 | ISO 640 | 18mm

In #1. I have a stupid question - how do you get all those different frames into one picture?

It's certainly an impressive result.

Very nice!

The group that follows #1 is also an impressive group of shots, but not anything as impressive as #1.

first photo.
what is that teqchnique called

[mikekelley]

It's a sequence - I believe he has it on a tripod, and lets it rip when the skater gets to the stairs and jumps.

he then traces around the skater with the pen tool, lifts and places them on the 'original' background image. I think.

I've just always just stacked the images in Photoshop, one photo per layer. Then erase the upper layers (one by one) in sequence to reveal the subject below. Merge, and your done. If you use a tripod and get 6-7 bursts, it's fairly easy because the BG doesn't change. It's when you're hand held (thus modifying the BG's), that it starts to get more difficult.

Cool stuff.

Thanks for the comments guys

And yes Grimlock and mikekelley are right, its a sequence and its done by making different frames into layers and merging them in Photoshop.

In that particular photo i didn't bring a tripod with me so it was hand held and it did take awhile to get them all straight.
