Every year, for the past few years, we have gone somewhere and taken pictures for a family Christmas card. This year was different though, because most years Mama has taken the picture. This time we decided to include everyone in the shot.
The "Goofy Shot"
I think Mama may have been the most excited about this one.
This was the test shot when I was making sure everything would look o.k. During this shot, I was standing about 10 feet away, about a third of the way into the street, with the camera set up on a tripod. Probably what they are looking at was the huge Ford barreling around the corner toward me kneeling in the road by my camera.{notice the protective Daddy glare}
Unfortunately, the street we picked was also the street the post office is on, which was anything but low traffic. Mostly I was worried about my camera sitting there while I ran around to jump in the picture before the 10 second timer went off. This was one of those times I wish I could have been just passing by and stopped to watch the show. I imagine it would have been quite amusing.
I'm pretty sure they got the idea for the picture on the right by what Mama was doing behind me during the picture on the left.
Merry Christmas and we wish you all a happy 2011!
-p.s.- Merry Christmas Amanda
