The photos were shot using a Nikon D3s and a Nikon D610 with a 300mm f/4 lens. To create the compilations, I overlapped the three images in Photoshop and aligned them according to elements in the background (fences, grass lines, trees, etc.), and lowered the opacity of the second image to about 50 percent and the third image to about 30 percent. Adjusting the color levels and curves helps to bring out the forms of the athletes that can be hard to see with the lowered opacity.
