Oooh cracking stuff!]
yoby, you really don't like wearing t-shirts do you ?
And Keith, I'd see a doctor, you're looking a little bit green
Would like to point out for the record that my boredom threshold is at it's lowest early morning or late evening...... I do get dressed if I'm going out, honest.....
Also, and in my defence your honour, I suspect Mrs Dave was brought up in the crater of a live volcano - With the central heating on at her comfort levels, even the jeans were too much !!

I like number 2, am I right in assuming that was created by the camera in a fixed point, then you take the photos of the various positions you were in, then layer them somehow?

This reminds me of something from Assassin's Creed.

That's about the long and the short of it. I had the camera (and Flash) on the tripod and all set up with the drive on self timer. I then grabbed my 'props' and took 5 or 6 shots.
Once the images were copied to the PC I opened them all in Photoshop and pasted 4 of them into one as new layers. From then on it was a case of selecting the bits I wanted to keep (mostly just me), inversing the selection and then deleting everything else in that layer. I repeated this for each layer (except the background) et voila. I posted a similar one the other week - Three of me at the breakfast table. Somewhere in that thread was a link to a tutorial, I'll have a look and see if I can find it and then link it here too.
There's some great shots appearing here, all good enough to tempt me into having a go at a 'proper' self portrait....... Will have a play at the weekend.
EDITED to include link to tutorial - http://www.extratuts.com/how-to-make-your-twins-photoshop-tutorial

I needed a team photo for a science communication project and had no spare body who knew what they were doing. First time using the mac with Sofortbild to preview the images (set it to take a pic every 12 seconds). It was quite entertaining.

Of course, someone commented on another forum that it looked like the trailer for a short run BBC sit-com, which led to someone else ahving a it of a go..

Hi Coohulin,
I really love the effects on these B&W shots. I am very new to the DSLR world and have a Nikon D3000. Could you please talk me through on how to achieve these shots as I would like to experiment and get similar results at dome point.
Thanks and well done.
