3/7/24 – Clone
I bummed hard when I heard that someone already did the banana thing because I took a picture earlier on the ride but didn’t post it yet.
Another idea that came to mind was to clone myself. Doing it in Photoshop was easy but not allowed, so I had to figure out some other way where it was just one pic with no post-shot combining.
I tried propping my camera on my handlebars (with the help of my bar extensions), then taking a panoramic shot on my iPhone and rotating the camera by the front tire (since I had to take the picture myself with no assistance). After 10 unsuccessful tries (and singeing my eyeballs with my hyperbright headlight), none of it worked probably because it was too dark and I was too close.
I remembered that there are different ways to output a Live photo, so I took the photo in that mode with the self-timer, then after I heard it click, I shifted to the right. When saving it to my iPhone, I selected Long Exposure, and this is what the pic ends up like.
Not sure if it’s more ghost than clone though 😀
