Sequence shots?

depends... what kind of camera do you have? usually, there is a little icon somewhere on a "normal" camera that looks like superimposed pictures, like a stack of em. click it to that and you shoudl be good.

if its a digital, i dunno, but at least for canon, you have to set the camera to manual mode (push the "set" button, then move down) and then push down in the normal window to get the superimposed images.

read your manual, it should say somewhere in there, or look it uo online, googke is your friend if you know your camera model.

then, to make the sequence, i use word, which works well, because i don't have photoshop or anything similar. but if you have that you should have a function.

i can't really help much, but there you go.

man i suck at typing...

sequence shots are sooo sick

hmmm.. ill figure it out haha

Digital Cameras, unless you have a pro-body (camera body that is) are very tough to shoot sequences with.

Film cameras - even the cheaper 35mm ones - can take great sequences if you have a motor drive.

Point and shoot? Forget it.

If you are really trying to get into photography, check out a solid digital body, like something from Cannon or Nikon (the Nikon D100 is a good entry level pro/enthusiast body). Cannon has slightly better technology/autofocus system, but I bought into Nikon years ago, so that's the line up I'm most familiar with. You'll want to own a couple of basic lenses to go along with the camera body. To educate yourself, check out B and H photo Video in NY. They'll have used equipment and you can see each manufacturer's line-up.

Film cameras are really cheap right now and you can get a very solid used line up of body, motordrive and two lenses for around $1000. The motordrive will allow you to jam when it comes to sequences, and really blow through film. Buy only the best - professional - film (b and h is a good source for film) like Fuji Provia or Velvia. It makes a huge difference.

And spend top dollar when it comes to lenses. You can get a used Nikon body in good shape for around $300, but a $300 zoom lens ain't worth shit. Think speed - your lens should be at least a 2.8.

OK, waaaay too much info here. Drop me a message if you have questions and I'll try to help.

a much cheaper way to do a sequence, but the quality isn't as good, is to take a video while holding the camera really still and then use a video editing program to pull out a frame at each point you want sequenced and then just overlap them in a picture

i use point and shoot. it works fine if you dont need 9 frames a second.

i couldnt figure out how to do it in word. but yeah i just take frames from high quality video.

insert each image, right click them, go to image format, make the surrounding "other", and then move them around as you like, trimming and everything from image format aswell. when its done, print the screen, open paint, select the sequence, copy, open new, paste, save as.

I think Chris O'Connel uses point and shoot as well as the video grab technique favored here (as does Scott Markewitz, Alex O'Brien, Christian Pondella, Erik Seo, Mattias Fredriksson, etc, etc, etc). That's why he gets so much published!!!!

Just kidding! I guess the real question here is are you just looking to get some sequences of your buddies or do you want to try to get serious with photography?

The point and shoots or vid grabs are not going to cut it for anything more than having fun with your friends and getting some cool shots for personal use. If that's what you are looking for, great.

sequences are fun. here are a few i have done







that last one was a bitch to put together necause i shot it with a fisheye and moved the camera instead of keeping it still so all the shot didnt match up at all. you can see it has a field of view of around 230 degrees instead of 180

ill post some of the ones i made with point and shoot, and using word to paste em:

not too hard if you know word basics.
