| great technique! you must have a fancy camera! the only thing i notice that's off here, is that her arm keeps, well, i guess i should say shifting. other than that, it's worthy of the placing it got. |

| I gave this a 10...it should have done so much better and I cannot understand the voting trends...you have a great daughter and you pulled off an excellent shot that bamboozled most of us. I thought that you would have done it the way you described when I saw it, but it's so well done, you have to look twice, no, three times! :-) I wish this finished higher |

So to answer some of the questions:
1.) No this is not identical triplets. This is just one person, my youngest daughter.
2.) Some people's comments were inferring that this may be a self portrait. See #1 above.
3.) How I did it: I set up the camera on a tripod, facing my basement couch. I hung a big piece of black felt on the wall behind and drapped over the couch. I had my daughter sit on the couch so I could manually focus the camera, I set it for manual exposure at 30" seconds and f8. I had her move along the couch so I could get a good idea what positions she should sit in. Luckily, we could use the edges of the cushions as a guide. I hung a white umbrella from the ceiling, so I could bounce my flash toward her. I turned out the lights, she took her first position, I hit the shutter on the camera and I held my flash above my head, toward the umbrella and fired. I had her move to the next position, and fired the flash again. Then a third time.
I only took about eight shots. Initially, I only did two flashes, with her basically looking at herself. The lighting didn't come out right, and you couldn't really see her face. Then we tried three of her, the one in the middle facing forward and the ones on the sides looking at her. This time there was a lot of overlap. FInally, she suggested the hear, see, speak no evil thing. This took two takes, just to get the positioning right.
Thanks for the nice comments, and I hope I didn't lose too many points for having them in the wrong order!

| nice job on the focusing. I wish you gave yourself a bit of room between yourselves, so there wasn't any odd looking overlap. |

I like this image - the way the model is staring off into the middle distance suggests some sort of scary evil. The middle part has the most expressive face, it would be intreesting to see another version with a little more expression of fear, loathing or shock on the other two. Choice of simple white clothing helps to keep attention on the three faces, without hiding the fact that she is an attractive model.

| is this a set of triplets or is the same girl posing within the 30 seconds? hard to tell and hard to appreciate. I think the photo would have been more dramatic if the model(s?) did not wear white and the bodies were faded out. |

This is very similar to the shot I was planning on submitting for this challenge but I couldnt get the lighting right as I've only got the inbuilt flash! I think that it would have come out a bit better if you had managed not to have an overlap of the arms as that seems to "give away" how the scene is created. Also, the lighting on the right person is slightly different to the other two - other than that I like it.
For my interest could you describe your setup for this photo please? |

Why is there never a fourth 'monkey' with his fingers up his nose? Mustn't live near where I do... ;)
I see someone's been studying the tutorials page?
Very nicely lit on yourself, although a tad crowded. Still a bit to learn, but you've done quite well...
watch that hot pixel just to the right of center... nothing you can do in basic though... |
