Here's an interesting photography project... put multiples of yourself into the same photo! Freak out your friends and family, and have a little fun at the same time.

What you need:

• Tripod
• Camera
• Graphic editing software, like Photoshop or the cheaper and almost-as-powerful Photoshop Elements. Use it to stick together your photos, and fix any overlaps.
  
• You... And any props or costume changes you'll be using.

You literally set up your tripod and camera, turn on the timer (or get a friend to help), and take a few photos of you in various positions.

Some tips you should keep in mind:

• Don't move the tripod. Even the slightest movement can throw your off your images.
• Fix the settings on your camera. Set it to Manual. If you're camera is on automatic, it might read different settings for each picture, which will give your photos different exposures.
• When editing, be careful of the overlaps.
• Be wary of the distance between your moving objects, and any shadows or interferences, and reflections.
• Edit any objects that might have accidentally moved between pictures. (such as the Xbox controller cables in my photo that I had to correct)

So have fun, and put a link in my comments to any cool and crazy stuff you come up with.
