Thanks for the tip, I fixed the white balance a bit

So I have to buy a tripod?

Hah! Thats great!

Great job. I have been thinking of trying something like this. But never think of it when the camera is out.

Cool, I like it!

That is a super-clever idea! I like it!

Hello,
I have always wanted to try something like this .. I am not sure but I think I know how you do this. please correct me if I am wrong..

First you set the camera on Tripod, then take a shot and then without moving the camera or tripod in the same position you take another one but this time you sit somewhere else..

The question is how do you edit it? Do you bring both of you in photo shop or is there a different way of putting your second picture into the first picture..?

Please help me on this one guys

In my head..this is how you would photoshop these..take both pictures..make them there own seperate layer..get the eraser tool and erase where the second image of you is..as you erase the second image would appear.
