First Big Group - and I'm in them

[rsagusti]

Yeah so the first shoot I have with a big group (13 people) and I had to be part of them (In the Cream Sweater). Used my timer and a trusted tripod and ran back and forth :rolleyes:. I only got 7 frames, my family is difficult, I could write a novel but I won't. Here's what I kept:

So here are the 2 frames that I decided to keep. Please tell me what you think.

Then my mom said she wanted less 'posey' not really sure what you are suppose to do with 13 people (and me using a timer!!) to be less posey. so this is what we got.

And here's how I cropped it:

The second one is very nice but I wish the couple on the far left were closer to the rest to make the distance between each group the same..

The first one is also nice but I think it is borderline overexposed, particularly the faces and the sky. Did you shoot in RAW, perhaps it's something you can correct a bit?

Yeah I shot in RAW, it doesn't show over exposed but I can see what you are saying, maybe I did something in PP, I'll go relook at that one tonight.

Oh and for #2 I was thinking the same thing, I was thinking when I had some more time to go and try to move them over a tad, I bet I could do it :)

I love #2!

Great idea for the large group. Turned out well for a timer and run over shot. Poor single guy...alone and squatting.
