Let's go with that. Repeat something in a fixed scene to create a unique composition.

I think it should be left up to the photographer.

The fact that some of our members don't like to make self-portraits isn't a good reason not to schedule them. Just sayin'... NOT sayin' is one will end up as an SP challenge, just making a point :-)

Agreed. I hate being in front of a camera.

How about doing this in Extended editing? Specify a fixed scene with a repeating element?

We have a tutorial for that.

"Diptych" and "Triptych" have very specific meanings: they refer to a work of art that is displayed on 2 or 3 side-by-side panels. So that title (for this challenge description) is a non-starter.

Alternative title: "2 or 3 or More of Me": this might make an interesting self-portrait challenge. "2 or 3 or More of Someone" would be wider. "2 or 3 or More of Anything" would be wide open :-)

I don't think we'd get a lot of participation if we restricted this to a long exposure and blacking-out of a portion of the view as things switched. It's a very difficult and time-consuming technique, and an archaic one to boot since we have photoshop.

Create an image with two or three or more of yourself or someone else in the same photo by using a slow shutter setting of 15 seconds or more. For 30 second images you may need to reset the shutter speed and/or use a remote shutter release.

FWIW many cameras (including all of mine) have a maximum shutter speed of 15 seconds and lack remote-triggering capability.

If you want it to be a self-portrait only I think that should be specified in the title.
