Set up my camera to get the exposure and composition I wanted. No people just the bridge. 2. Daughter and I walked on to the bridge with me holding the frame.3. She then put her hands onto the frame and leaned forward and through just slightly. 4. Snapped the second picture of the two of us. 5. Stacked the image and reduced transparency on the top layer (bridge layer) to see the bottom layer of my daughter and I. 6. Slowly erased the top bridge layer essentially erasing us INTO the photo. Using a hard eraser I followed the inside edges of the frame area to erase in the frame and its content but not her legs, body, or elbow. 7. Set the top layer transparency back to 100% and flattened image.This was just a fun photo I did to try out this technique I had dreamed up. In the future I plan to do some more with this type of image, but at a much higher quality now that I have proven the technique to myself. It's truly a lot of fun to do and people get a laugh out of it.From doing this... this is why I suspect he erased himself out of the architecture photos to an underlying layer. Stationary camera with no changes in each shot. Stacked two at a time, blended for what he wanted, and erasing himself out. Flatten layers, add a new layer, and repeat.</blockquote>
