Since we are not supposed to go out in public (there are exceptions like to buy food etc.) I thought of something that might interest some of my UHH friends here. We all have seen plenty of very borrrrrrrrrrrring people photos where they are posed and rather dull. I posed 8 out of 10 in this series to make the shot more interesting. The idea is to be creative with the posing to make the photo more interesting. One photo might be in costume and a pose that might go with it, another action shot with a flash freezing the subjects in mid air, perhaps yet another might take advantage of blooming flowers. Let your creative juices flow!
These all look best in download mode.

You are very welcome! With this coronavirus thing going on and we are staying home it’s a good time to look through old photos and work them over!

Ha Hah Hah Hah Hah Hah! Our kids don’t know that a few years ago we were romantic and good looking. Nowadays we are old and the kids don’t want to think about how they were even created!

I like the most #2 and #10, but others are also interesting. Thanks for sharing.
In #10 - how did you manage to catch all 8 of them in the air? Was it pure luck or you did multiple takes?
It's hard to catch a group even with open eyes.

In #10 I shot a whole bunch of photos and increased my odds of getting one that seemed to work. Yes, you are right about catching eyes open. That's one of the reasons why you take many photos! Also the more people you have in the photo, the better odds are that at least one of them will be horrible!
