Although the Olympic Games are over now, we just found these multiple exposure pictures by Reuters photographer Mike Blake, that show athlete’s magnificent movements. Reuters is using 11 robots to shoot photos at impossibly amazing angles. Photographers at the Olympics can take up to 14 frames per second, creating incredible, high-speed multiple exposure shots, all in-camera, that rivals with what can be done in photoshop. With advancement in the technology of Canon’s new DX camera now allowing for multiple exposures the photographers had the opportunity to show athletes in the symmetry of their art, which was like opening up a present after each sequence of exposures.

sadly noone told the photographer that the tripod has also been invented. a lot of the dynamic is lost due to the slightly jittery base/background of the images..

I think the jittery background adds to the effect of the photos, puts the focus more on the athleates.
