Trick Photography

Does anyone else like to do trick photography in here? I ventured out to the streets of Springfield today and in my travels, came across a foot tunnel that I figured would be an interesting setting for shooting a series of photos.

I took three photos of myself, with the camera in the same spot each time and me positioned in different places on each shot. This took about 10 minutes and 15 shots because I had to time it for when people weren't walking through the tunnel.

So I came home, edited it all together in iPhoto and Photoshop and here is the result (with a word to the wise to never shoot into the sun on a non-SLR camera, the camera's autofocus trips out):

I love shooting photos like this. Anyone else done anything similar? Post it here!

Back in the Rover Hype days.. These shots were picked up by a national magazine.

Macuser-

I love those Bug Mars Rover photos. Especially the bottom one -- how did you get that effect? Is it an effect that comes with Photoshop?

Thanks.

No PS effect other than high contrast b/w the base image and then make different copy layers and colorize each as required and stagger as needed to get the effect with the top layers set as multiply.

It was inspired by one of the real stereo images from the rover.
