[QUOTE=B-hazard;27902035]Did you follow any guide of some sort, because I would like to try something like this.[/QUOTE] Actually no. I once saw a "sequence" shot of a snowboarder and I thought that I could do that, but in another way. I can make a tutorial if anyone is interested? [editline]6th February 2011[/editline] Try and search "how to sequence photography".. I don't know if anything pops up, but it's worth the try. It's the same technique.

A tutorial would be p-cool, cause your ones turned out pretty good.

I'm definitely interested if you want to make a tutorial. I've seen it done on v5 a couple times, dunno about v6. Very nice shots, well done :)

Hiking is one of my many passions. I try too go out every Sunday. Those pictures were taken up in the Mt.Baldy area. I'm not sure where exactly though. We kind of just parked on the side of the road and climbed down into the valley. Here's a crop from one of the pictures I took. I didn't see this until just now. The lens I was using is terrible. I bring it with me on hikes because if I break it I wont care. [img]http://dl.dropbox.com/u/7035566/awyeah.png[/img]
