I'm partial to Canon. The EOS 20D is nice, but the new Rebel is close for less money. Don't forget to budget some money for a good lens. I have a Canon L-series 70-200mm f2.8 IS and love it. The lens makes a huge difference, especially with action.

 

anyone else?

My dad got an even better deal on that one through dell.com. I'm not sure if they're still running that deal, however.

 

can any one elab on the layering step by step guide for doing that in ps?

 

yeah I am curious to know how to shoot a sequence too

 

up?

help?

 

Photoshop layering. There's many different techniques to do this. What you do is take your first image and paste the rest of them in sequence preferably on top of one another. Then you probably want to use the layer opacity / screen / multiply /.. it's rather simple if you get used to using the tools. Just make sure you save the originals in a safe location in case you mess up and want to start over. Photoshop 7 is rather simple to use. I haven't used Photoshop (8) in the new version of Creative Suite.

oh.. and my camera is FOR SALE..

 

Would i be able to do this by layering the photos and erasing everything but the object? (in the case the biker) Are is this too hard. I am using photoshop version 8 cs.

Redlinetuning to you have a forsale thread or any pictures of the camera? Thanks

 

take like 20 shots real fast w/ out moving the camera as the action is happening. then layer them all on top of each other.. PWNAGEz0r h0!

 

i think my sister's sony camera has a burst mode where it shoots a number of photos consecutively. throw the camera on a tripod, shoot.. take it home and layer it in photoshop. cut everything but the action u want out of all layers except for one.. u should get that effect

So whats the best camera that's not to outrageously expensive And does any one know of ones that are camcorders too?

 

really?&gt;

 

camcorders do not have a very good snapshot, in my opnion..

but most digital cameras now do have a camcorder feature.. like MINE!!..

and most dig. cams also have the burst shot where once it's turned on.. it'll keep taking pictures until you let go of the button..

mine is still for sale. !!

You may have better help over at AccessPhoto

it's easier to use the burst mode on a digital camera and just layer them in photoshop.

 

Like others say, you need a tripod, and a camera with 'sequence' option.

If you take the shot properly, the lighting/colour should be the same for each shot of the sequence. You will have to run a fairly fast shutter speed to catch an action shot like that if your not panning with the subject, So it would be best to shoot in good lighting. Once you have got good shots, you can move on to photoshop.

Open up your first image taken, then open the rest of your images from the sequence, then copy/paste each of these photos onto the first photo taken. Each photo will now be on its own new layer in the same document.

In the case of the Biker shot you posted, there would be approximately 8 shots taken, so 8 layers in the photoshop document.

You could do what redlinetuning said, and use blending modes (found on the 'layer' window).
Or, if there wasnt so many shots in the sequence (eg. If the biker wasnt overlapping himself in the shots) you could just do a quick selection right around the biker (see pic)



Then put a 3 pixel feather on it (go to 'select' &gt; 'feather') then copy/paste this selection of the biker onto a new layer. Because the background is the same on every shot, the selection around the biker wouldnt have to be perfect, as the background would just blend into the first shot of the sequence.

Then obviously do this with each shot.

Meh, I hope that sorta made sence.
