Canon EOS400D - Time lapse

[The Mighty2006]

I saw a photo on DPS with a girl in three locations within the photo. Can I do this with the Canon EOS 400D and if so How do I take the photo?

I have tried tonight taking three photos and stiching them together but it does not give me what I want.

Assistance would be appreciated.

I've seen this, but never tried it. What kind of post processing software do you have? I believe you can take multiple shots and then cut and paste, but I'm definitely not a Photoshop expert, so maybe someone else has a better idea.

My guess would be that you could combine all three shots into a single file, as separate layers, and then create masks to show all the figures in the topmost layer. Setting transparency in some of the layers before working on the masks can probably help you line up the non-moving stuff in the image perfectly.

Maybe google up a basic tutorial on layers and masks?

1. You could download any of the free image editing programs out there (e.g. GIMPShop (http://gimpshopdotnet.blogspot.com/) or Paint.NET (http://www.getpaint.net/index2.html)) and those work like photoshop and then you could just follow the tutorials pretty much.

2. If you don't mind a ghostly look, you can use a long exposure and sit somewhere for a few seconds, then move, and repeat until you've done what you want to do, but of course the first "images" will be fainter than the last.

Your best bet is probably option 1 ;)
