I'm in a band called "The Cracked Man", and on stage I wear a top hat and round blue sunglasses. When my grandchildren came to stay I discovered they loved our music, so decided to do a shot of us all wearing the top hat and glasses. I only had the one top hat and pair of glasses, so this is a combination of 4 photos. We took up position, with me wearing the stuff, then took the first image; then everyone stayed still while I put the hat and glasses on the eldest grandchild and we took the next shot - and so on. The camera was on a tripod to keep the same POV throughout, and it was lit with 2 off-camera Canon speedlites.
