I've seen PShopped action sequences in various sports magazines. Especially in windsurfing and kiteboarding mags. Had some down time and decided to PShop a JC Intal series I had into one image.

If you guys have played with action sequences, post them here. :)

Nice one TJ. Now to look for a tutorial on this one. :)

Thanks Nap! I just played with this. This isn't really a tutorial, but here's what I did:
1. I made clipping paths of the first two images so I could place them as layers. When you make a selection, you can feather the edges so it's not too sharp.
2. Make a duplicate layer of the main image so I can isolate the player and the ring. (either by parths or erasing)
3. Make a Hue & Saturation Adjustment layer over the main image and turn it blue.

From what I've seen before, this technique seems to work better with aerial tricks with a un-cluttered background (like the jumps in boardsports).

Wow, if one can combine all of those exposures into one image...the only problem is the background..

Nice sequences Joel. If you don't mind, can I copy the water skiing images and try making a combined sequence? I'll post it when I'm done. Let me know if that's ok with you. :)

TJ,

Great photo! I thought it was a JC Intal Basketball trading card.

Very nice captures TJ, Joel, & Fidel.

TJ: How'd you did that one-frame sequence?

Thanks Reyno! Photoshop to death! It's not as hard as it looks. But you do need to be very familiar using the bezier curves when making clipping paths. :)
I was at same position when taking the 3-shot sequence and I jsut followed the movement. I manually (by making clipping paths) chose JC Intal's image on each shot by making clipping paths then composed it into one image. Again, this isn't the best explanation around! I'll try to come up with a more comprehensive one. :D

Thanks Reyno. Hmm, I'm not so familiar with clipping paths. Is there another way? :D

Great action sequence guys!

@TJ, nicely done on the one with JC Intal. Like what Raffy said, it does look like a basketball player's trading card. Can't wait to see what you've done with Joel's shots! :)
