Taking off by Marc Baumser

this is 5 exposures layered not a composite. What I mean is that 5 images were stacked and blended. the helicopters were not cut-and-paste, this is where they actually were in the taking-off.

Bracket - First take a series of images with the camera on a tripod on resting on something so that the other elements in the image are in the same place. the method is really simple in PS. open all the images in PS. Pick one as you "background" (in this case the helicopter on the ground) then go to each successive image "select all" "copy" go to the background image and "paste". now go to the layers palatte. Where it says "normal" click that dropdown (that is the blending mode) and select darken. just repeat for each frame. You can adjust "opacity to create ghosting type images too.

You can look around online. different blending modes provide different results. and if you shots dont line up exactly (the tripod moved) the image on the layer can be moved around to realign the images.

Interesting study of the takeoff motion. How exactly did you do the stacking/blending?
