Octuplets

This bunch came in for a shoot the other day but the studio wasn't big enough so we had to improvise and get some informal shots. I have no idea why they were all dressed the same.

This is another rainy day project that you can do if you have nothing else on. It's a simple enough technique if you have a tripod. All you have to do is take each image without changing any exposure or focus settings, in fact leave everything on manual. Use a good size aperture, this was f/11 so everything stays reasonably sharp. Then in photoshop put each photo on it's own layer and just add a mask to the top layer so the next layer shows through, then join the top two layers and repeat until everyone is on the same layer. I added some effects in lightroom as the colour version was a bit plain. I'm not overly enthusiastic about this but its great for all the narcissists out there, Robbie Williams (remember him?) loves the effect, sing when you're winning album cover.
