Hey I was wondering how to take a stop motion action with call the movements compiled into one image?

Here is an example
rennie-gap-series.jpg


Anyway I have a Nikon D60 with tripod and 18-55mm AF-S NIKKOR lens. What settings do I need to use to be able to take lots of photos in a short amount of time and maybe a link to a photoshop how to?

If you could at least tell me what this type of photo this is like what style, stop motion? I can probably google it. thanks.
 
Typically done using a tripod with your multi-frame capture setting on the camera. Just mount it on the tripod (keeping it in the same postion) and fire off a burst of shots. There's software that layers them on top of each other, but personally, i just open up photoshop and start with the first picture, and just stack the others on top, erasing only where the rider needs to be. Keep repeating with all the layers and your done.

It's important to keep the camera in the same spot, though; otherwise photoshop work becomes far more extensive.
