Was #6 a 'take my picture'? The central figure is certainly mugging for the camera, the other two are not. Yet, they are 'under the control' of other one - is he saying, "only take of picture of me?"lylenoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-33929660.post-66012830248303243342011-06-08T09:28:56.213-04:002011-06-08T09:28:56.213-04:00Lyle, interesting question.

People who ask this usually do go into "pose mode," and what I generally do is react immediately and get off a frame or two before they realize I've reacted. Then I also shoot whatever stance they choose to adopt. This picture is the first of two frames, before they've quite realized that I *am* responding.

I asked if they would like to look thru the ground glass and one replied, "...no, we are waiting for the big poof!"<br /><br />Carl, when you are asked, do the subjects go in "pose mode", do you ask them to pose, or is a quick record of the moment?lylenoreply@blogger.com
