Skateboarding composite

[raathistle]

This is my first attempt at this kind of thing. From a technical standpoint can anyone see anything wrong with it (I may well have missed some glaringly obvious not lining up issue). Its a shame I missed the two pictures either side but I cant really do much about that :(

Any tips on an easy way to do this (teaching yourself photoshop is hard work).

Think thats an excellent attempt. You may want to tone the building down behind the skater, but other than that, great shot(s):thumbs:

Technically very good, but would be better ifff..
- The other kid behind the 1st shot wasnt there
- Boarder was facing us... eye contact makes it
- There was a 4th shot of him leaving the box (but then in machine gun mode do you get 4 shots?)
- Background was blurred out a little

Technically there's nowt wrong with it at all. It would be more interesting if the three poses weren't so similar -try taking a wider view including the run up and the landing. If you shoot on your fastest continuous drive speed it doesn't really matter how many shots you take and it gives you the advantage of adding or omitting shots as you wish from the final composite.

It's actually ridiculously easy to combine multiple shots. By far and away the easiest method is described in this tutorial.

Thanks guys.

Its a shame about the other kids but thats not really avoidable at this place, and i dont think i have one where they aren't in it.

I actuallyforgot to take the 4th picture landing, rookie mistake I know, but you can bet I wont make it again.

The facing me thing was a problem all day, I only seemed to get reasonable shots when they weren't facing me :bang:

Thanks for the link as well.
