Tom, a great bit of photoshop there and an excellent capture. I love the name for the process ‘After Madeleine’ effect’.
Sounds a lot better than layers. :lol:

Surprised you haven’t had any comments.

Thanks, Soda, for the comments and interest.

The ‘effect’ I named (tongue in cheek) because it’s a poor relation of work done by Madeline on https://www.photographyireland.net/viewtopic.php?p=173271&highlight=#173271

I think the sports section of the site is generally very quiet – even though sports photos account for nearly half the images in most daily newspapers.

Best wishes.

Hi sirvad,
Thanks for the comments.
Yes, it does look as if the legs are missing but in fact they are not. However, they are in the dark shadow and are stretched backwards behind the fence!!

This was an experiment for fun. I took four shots of the horses as they jumped the fence. They were hand-held! Better if I had a tripod to hand.

I then opened one in PS. Created three extra layers and imported the other three shots one into each layer. (Since I had no tripod, I had to reposition the images slightly so they would over-lap.)
I choose the image where the horse is already over the fence as the front/top layer. I lowered the transparency temporarily in it so I could see the next layer ‘through it’. I erased the area that corresponds to the area that contains the horse in the second image. Then brought the transparency of image one back to 100%. Now I have the horse in two positions in the image.

Next I hide layer 1 so layer 2 now appears as the top image. I lowered the transparency temporarily so I could see the next layer (#3) ‘through it’. I erased the area that corresponds to the area that contains the horse in the third image. Then brought the transparency of layer 2 back to 100%. Unhide layer 1 and 2. Now I have the horse in three positions in the image.

… and the process for layer 4 is a repeat.

Enjoy!
