The herd was on its way home for lunch. I could see a family photo developing
as they all made their way over to the beaten path, so I ran to head them off.
I knew if I could stop George in his tracks, the others would pile up behind him and I might have the shot I wanted.

Now picture an out-of-breath madwoman with a camera in one hand, doing a
one-sided jumping jack
with the other, shouting, "Wait! Wait!" That is how one gets a burro to stop in his tracks.
George: What in the hell are you doing?
Me: Trying to line up this shot. Alan, move your left ear a teensy bit to the right.
Me: Perfect. Now, George, put your ears back up so we can see Lucy's other eye.
George: Where's Hank? He has to be in this, too.
Me: Here he comes. Just hold still for a few more seconds.
*sigh*
Bravo! you managed a very beautiful one with the 3 of them already. keep practicing and I am sure one day you'll have the four of them together
ReplyDeleteYa need a dog that will herd for you. Camera assistant!
ReplyDeleteIt's like herding a bunch of cats.
ReplyDeleteI like the B&W shots. They are dramatic.

Just use some Photoshop skills to add Hang to the 2nd to last shot. Sounds easy doesn't it.
