This photo captures the form of my brother front flipping. There is a slight overlap in the two midair figures but the extra element of depth added by the hood benefits the picture. This sequence shot was especially hard to piece together due to the shift in the trampoline while my brother jumped. When he jumped and when he landed the trampoline shook so I effectively had 3 separate backgrounds, because the two in the air are the same. Because of this I had to be very careful when I was painting back in my brothers body. If I wasn't very up close to his edge the changed backgrounds showed through. This wouldn't have been a hug problem but I had problems like the blue noodle on the post not lining up when it reappeared on the other side of my brother. Because of this difficulty in bringing my brother in, some stages of his flip do look like they were copied and pasted in, especially the last landing shot.
Though it was technically harder to compose, I am happy that I put the effort into it. The final out come is a wonderful shot that shows the full form of my brother doing a flip. If I could go back I would try to get a sequence of 5 pictures. I'd like one picture a third of the way into the flip, one at the apex of his jump, and a third while he was coming out of the flip, in addition to the jumping and landing shots. My current sequence shot is excluding the super peek action shot and the two in-air shots are a little closer than I'd like.
