Very cool.

I think that this was a good idea and that you put the image together very nicely. I think the impact would have been greater with a different subject or perspective. It's a really great shot.

Miles, this is really cool, how could you do that?

How about "wickedly cool!".

Thanks all :)

I didn't actually intend to produce this when I took this series, I was just shooting on drive mode as these guys bounced around.

When I looked at the RAW files this seemed like a perfect thing to do with it, I don't know why I hadn't gone there with this kind of thing in mind. Perhaps then I would have taken a tripod.

The processing was difficult because none of the individual shots matched up, as it was hand held. For most of them I just masked out the guy but as he got lower the whole frame shifted more so I had to do some tricky cloning to have the rails and background match up.

It worked out ok for half an hour fiddling in photoshop but you can see in the middle I did a really poor job with his hair. I would love to try this again with the intention of producing a sequence like this.

Whoa, very cool. Not only the photo(s) themselves, but also the photoshop work. Outstanding.
