The "Three Andos at the Dock" pic is bad azz. Great photoshopping? What program or technique did you use for this?

Tripod with three photos taken not moving the camera. . .layer them over each other. . bam. . instant bad ass.

layer them over each other

Explain. If possible. If not, cool.

Layering is simply, roughly 'cutting out' the images and lining them all up to become a three layered matching pic.

Anyhoo

Photoshop layering is for pussies.

I cloned the Ando for this pic.

Ando clones are a pain in the ass.

Why? Why did you serve this up?

Thanks for the info. Very nicely done.

You'd probably need a timer or a remote shutter, as taking three pics and layering the whole frame could easily produce blur if everything is not exactly in the same place...granted, I am thinking film...

Might be a lot easier with digital...

i could show the process a lot better than i could explain it. . .

for me, it would all be about rendering. i would yank the anderson out of two other photos and smash him into the primary photo.

to much precise cutting, then you have proper shadowing issues.

I set the tripod and the camera and took three identical pics and just moved Ando.

You can do roughly two simple edits to merge them.

easy-peasy

that was my first idea. . .but deek said it wasn't possible.

Hmmm...don't remember saying that wasn't possible...just that you could easily get a blurry background layering all three unless you had a timer or remote shutter...

But, maybe that is the same as me seing it wasn't possible...

this took three laser-guided cameras, a GPS and a drill press to get the right focusing

I know what everyone is thinking after seeing that last picture, "Damn, I wish I was that straw!".
