In this tutorial I show you how to use Adobe Photoshop to create action photo sequences, you can use these in anything from BMX, Skate, Parkour, Rally Racing, just about anything that comes to mind. Action sequences are some of the most impactful images.
To create these with the techniques I use you really just need to get a grip on a couple of photoshop tools:
1) Using the Lasso tool in photoshop to create selections
2) Using Layer Masks in Photoshop to mask out parts of the image that are not relevant
3) Using brushes to paint away edges from your masks, and to help blend from one image to another
Use the practice files, follow along and tweet your finished work to me! I would love to see it!

[@BillNicholsTV]

Me too! Comng soon

[@pauloscar7278]

some of my images have a ton of shadows, what should I do?

[@mariasusan6540]

what lens do you think is best for something like BMX photography.

[@BillNicholsTV]

Depends, if you are up close something very wide, if far away the 70-200F4L is a great lens, or if you can afford it the 70-200 F2.8

[@andrarachel1450]

you should do a video on keyboard shortcuts

[@BillNicholsTV]

I have done tis a little, but great idea!

[@angelelijah2692]

I am thinking of getting a Canon 7D (not mark II) would that work for this kind of photography?

[@BillNicholsTV]

Absolutley - great budget choice

[@samuelbryan1841]

Do you know if you can do this same thing in lightroom?

[@BillNicholsTV]

+Samuel Bryan no you need to be able to do the selections, layer masks, etc. you can't do that in lightroom

[@MonacoMike]

Bill, if you had your camera locked down on a solid tripod, why didn't all of the images line up so you didn't have to adjust them?

[@BillNicholsTV]

+MrGrunthunter's Adventures couple reasons - it was really windy, I was quite a ways back so zoomed in quite a bit and I could bring a real beefy tripod in, I was limited in what they would allow. With that though I only had to move the images that needed it a couple pixels in whatever direction.

[@jasonjordan3943]

why do you use Canon?

[@stephenkyle2372]

when I do a layer mask the edge is really obvious, I tried painting it out like you said but didn't work what am I doing wrong?

[@BillNicholsTV]

Make sure you are using a soft brush

[@sarahkimberly7719]

how would I deal with images that are really really close together.

[@BillNicholsTV]

Choose less images so there is less overlap

[@adamcharles4381]

I edit video and photo, should I use apple or PC?

[@BillNicholsTV]

either is fine - whatever your preference is

[@saralouise654]

can you do this on lightroom on the iphone?

[@BillNicholsTV]

not that I know of

[@jenniferharris3343]

what kind of a computer do you recommend?

[@BillNicholsTV]

One you can afford, I would focus on a great video card, great processor, lots of memory

[@aarondevan9060]

I have a 5dmkii can I still do this.

[@BillNicholsTV]

You can - just wont get as many frames, depends on your subject

[@alancarson4146]

can you do a tutorial like this with a car going by?

[@carmenrosa7768]

i tried this and photoshop couldn't save the file, kept crashing.

[@BillNicholsTV]

Try flattening the file if you are finished, or merge visible. Or get rid of all the layers you aren't using the try saving
