My office is opposite my dining room, so I've been looking and noodling on this for days. I even wrote down what each person would be doing. Spent 20 minutes setting the scene, includin thinking about what each person would hold. Tucked all the 'hold' items out of site & shot a 'neutral'. Then shot first person (in front) - 3 takes. 2nd person (the dealer) - 3 takes. The rest of them were one take each. Changed the hair and shirt for each. PS time was 35 minutes. Total work - ~3 hours.
You did a great job with this, Cindi. Love all the different clothing, hair styles and expressions. The more of these I see here, the more tempted I am to do one of my own. Excellent!
This is great! I was thinking about doing something like this (and I will) but watching yours discourage me cause I know I wont be able to do it this good... Great job!
Now I'm kinda embarrassed that I even tried it. (Sheepish grin icon goes here...) This is amazing! If there are errors, I sure as heck can't find them. How did you put it all together, by the way? Mask and erase? I like how you can even see the feet under the table from the Cindi in the back. Every Cindi is perfectly lit and in focus - did you re-focus each shot, and if so, how did you do that without disturbing the camera position?
I'll go back to snapshots of my feet, I think.... :-)
:D Deb, thanks for the compliment. I'm pretty proud of this one. I did use mask/erase to pull the layers together. Once I figured out what I was doing it went amazingly fast. I didn't refocus for each exposure though. I had the camera set with a deep enough DOF to include the whole table (Cindi back left is a bit soft). Each time all I had to do was to click the remote release to get the timer going and dash into position. Light was the celing fixture over the table plus my flash with Gary Fong pointed at the celing.

great details in this, I like how each drink kind of goes with each outfit. Poor cindi on the far left though, she has no drink and looks alittle sad :P. excellent multi exposure.
This is an absolutely perfect achievement of the multiple exposure technique! VERY well done cindi! What is the elapsed time of the shoot with all the clothes changing?
