Week 47/52 - Working Out

Week 47 was a fun project I have been wanting to try for a while now. In fact, I taught it to my kids this week and we had some really creative and great montages turn out. So I had to work this into my project.

This is a multiple personality shot, or sometimes people like to call it a montage. It's really a lot of fun - this is not that creative but something I had envisioned when I started.

Camera:
Canon 7d
Canon 10-22mm
1/60@F/8.0
ISO 1250

Strobist:
1- Canon 430EXII, 1/2 power, zoomed @24mm in shoot thru umbrella, far right of frame
1- Canon 430EXII, 1/4 power, zoomed @24mm, bare, shooting up towards ceiling a few feet in front and right of camera
1- Canon 430EXII, 1/4 power, zoomed @24mm, bare, shooting up towards ceiling a few feet to left of camera

Objective: (Jeremy speak)

This shot was a bit complicated. You have to setup your camera on a tripod. It must be perfectly still or else you will have a lot of work to do later! I setup the camera on a 10sec delay so I could run into position.

Editing wise, it was actually the first time I have ever used layer masks in Photoshop. Crazy right?! But I learned a lot from the shoot and like I mentioned it was a great teaching project this week and the kids learned a lot and enjoyed it.

You have to combine all of your images into the background shot (you pick.) Then you have to select yourself or whatever you are doing and add a layer mask to it. Once masked you can begin to paint away or paint yourself back into the scene. Its a lot of fun to watch happen and really it is not that difficult. You just need to make sure that you don't miss any fine details throughout the shot as it is easy to do when masking.
