Talking Me x 4 !!!

Me x 4


OK this is my 1st attempt at a composition!!

PLEASE excuse the front room, I was experimenting whilst the wife was out and if she knew I'd taken this shot with it looking so untidy and then posted it she would go mad

Let me know what you think please

Cheers

Nice work with the placement. Did you find the software easy to use?

I would love to say it took hours of blood sweat and tears but I have got to thank clockdoc for the info

He gave me details of a new piece of MS Software called Groupshot and can be found here:

http://research.microsoft.com/projects/GroupShot/

It is very easy to use and only took me 10 mins from setting up the camera to finishing the shot

It is good fun, just don’t overlap yourself on each frame taken so it is easy to crop out

If you try and get too complicated I think it will start to fall down and it is not originally intended to be used for this purpose

Cheers for the feedback

Is that the same edition of the magazine in each shot? It would be a neat detail if each was a different magazine - another "clue" that there really were four of you in the room rather than one person moving from place to place

Another thing that would be worth trying is to get a bit of apparent interaction - for example, one of you could be pointing to a particular photo and another could be looking over at it.
