The Group Photo

Every picture tells a story, don’t it, but this one tells an epic tale. LovelySweet1789 said it’s her favorite picture of her father. Before she was born, the family held a reunion at her grandparent’s farm in Maryland. Dad had a camera with a timer, and thought it would be a great idea to take a group picture from across the pond. He set the timer, but his estimate of how fast he could run around the pond was a little off. It’s a big pond. Everyone else assumed he knew what he was doing, so no one looked at the camera until he was in place -too late. Now, this was before everyone had a digital camera, so they did not know how the photo turned out until all the pictures were taken and a photo lab developed them. The finished product could be the basis for a movie. Someone asked why they didn’t use the flash. The Flash would have made it back to the group in time.


I prefer photos like this to posed ones. Everyone is looking around naturally, doing their own thing.
Attention Orient: It's perfectly acceptable to take photos of people who AREN'T making the "V for victory" sign.
