Photography tutorial for how to take a continuous photo?

I want to take make a picture where it shows someone running and jumping in a picture (but it has multiple frames of the person running in the same picture - if that makes any sense).

Here's an example of what i'm talking about:

(about half way down the page under Other Techniques To Capture Motion)

Any tutorials or explanations of how to do this?
Thanks!!!


Your camera needs to have a "burst" function of some sort. That means it takes a number of photos in rapid succession. You also MUST have the camera on a tripod.

After that, you can follow my instructions for the usual "multiple me" photo:

Put the camera on a tripod so it will NOT move. Take photos of your subject in different spots (at first it is easiest if they don't overlap anywhere).
In Photoshop, start with a base photo as layer 1.
Add the next photo as a new layer #2, make bottom layer invisible (eye symbol in layers window).
Erase/mask everything except the person in #2 - you don't have to be really accurate around them as long as you left enough room between them and as long as the camera didn't move.
Make layer #2 invisible. Add layer #3 and again erase/mask everything except the person.

Now make all layers visible again and VOILA! You're done!

Once you start overlapping positions of your subject, you have to be way more accurate with the masking/erasing and with thinking about which layer needs to be in which position.
