Extremely cool, Kathy! I take it this took some practice to get it just right. No movement in the hands at all--really excellent. Good thing you used your digicam! Very nice work. I'm impressed. #7068Brian L. Zimmerman August 01, 2002
Wonderful shot, Kathy! I'm not only impressed with what you've accomplished technically with the photo, but also how you managed to get a bunch of young boys to cooperated so nicely! And the one had to draw the S backwards or maybe you just flipped it around? In any case, this all took careful planning and execution - Great work!Janelle Barry August 01, 2002
I love this, Kathy! It could have come from the master artist of Americana himself, Norman Rockwell. The fact that you managed to accomplish this with five live and exuberant young men in a matter of a couple of seconds is amazing. There is great character to this image. Wonderful, wonderful! #10459Kathy L. Schneider August 01, 2002
Hi Piper, Brian, Tracy, Janelle, and Robert! Your wonderful comments made my day! This was a tricky shot and I really didn't expect to succeed, but even with the silly pals bouncing all over the place in-between shots they managed to pull it all together for this one exposure! I actually only took 5 photographs and this was number 3...The boy in the middle (my son) had to make a backwards "S" ...he was pretty proud of himself!Hayley Brooks Thistlethwaite May 26, 2019
Another great shot ! I think B & W or sepia film would have added something to it. JUst because the composition is so stong... #82101Sign up for an interactive online photography course to get critiques on your photos.
