I've seen lots of you doing clone photography, but never tried it.

Post yours below here :)

ive done a few.





the babies was my first attempt, you can tell its fake but the parrots was my 2nd attmept didnt realise how easy it was :-)

[Juliette Packham]

my first attempt this week!

[Andrew ]

@sparkle Oh yes, I saw this on the popular page, it's excellent

[Mel]

I did my first one this week too!

I'll post some small so the thread doesn't get to long (and it's easier for smartphone viewers to see the whole pic hehe) Been I while since I've created one.
This was the first one I tried several months ago.. I didn't own a tripod or the right software yet... (downloaded GIMP straight after uploading this LOL)

Again my son, about 1 1/5 months later with software & tripod:


I like to change clothes for clone shots too.. (to tell a "story")


But that isn't always necessary LOL


The last one I made was around X-mas...

@andrewdearling thanks Andrew, I was surprised at how easy it was! just looked at your tutorial, and definitely might try the masking layer thing next time. oh and using a tripd and remote flash would have been so much easier than balancing my camera on a high shelf and using the 10sec timer, but away at a hotel I had limited kit! It's all part of the fun I suppose!!

@elke Oh wow, you're a pro! And good plan for posting them small. Never occurred that the large photos dont scale to the phone

[Elke W.]

@andrewdearling Haha well between the first and the last pics there's about half a year of experimenting, first with Gimp and later PS CS5 ;-)

[vorka]

Wow, how cool. Does anyone know how to merge (or if you can) in Lightroom 4?

[Stacy ♥ DOF]

@vorka You can't do this with just Lightroom because you have to be able to mask and layer :(

Here's mine!

[Bard]

I was so winning/losing/winning.

[Paul Myers]

I haven't done any this year. I did three last year. This one to celebrate my daughter's 22nd birthday.



This one, because my youngest wanted to be cloned.



And this one, because I got ambitious one day.

This is the only one I've done so far. It was a blast; I'm definitely going to do more when I have time.

[Andrew ]

@fig365 Haha, that's awesome. Love you're braces

My first and only attempt. The shadows made it harder than I cared for, and don't forget me peeking from behind the shed as well. :)
