Stitching together a skate photo sequence in Photoshop.

in photography •  last year 

Recently the blade battle 5 inline skate comp went down at Fairfield Skatepark

My good mate SK was stomping some killer fish brain grinds on the ledge.

So I chucked on my fish eye lense to get a shot of him grinding off the end of the ledge.

He stomped it first go, so I said can you do it again and I'll get a sequence shot.

As he approached the ledge I started the burst of shots on my camera as follows.

I haven't stitched together a sequence in a while now so this is not the cleanest way to do it but it still works I think.

I started off with the first shot of SK approaching the ledge.

Then I layered the second photo, lined it up with the first photo and cut him out, then used the eraser tool to remove all the background from the image.

I repeated this process on the following photos until I added the final photo which is my favorite of them all, with SK styling out the grabbed fish brain grind.

The end result looks really cool and is always fun to try and stitch a photo sequence together!

I took these shots with my Sony a7iii with a old samyang fish eye lens

Happy landings!
