Another failed family photo

The herd was on its way home for lunch. I could see a family photo developing 
as they all made their way over to the beaten path, so I ran to head them off.
I knew if I could stop George in his tracks, the others would pile up behind him and I might have the shot I wanted.
 Now picture an out-of-breath madwoman with a camera in one hand, doing a one-sided jumping jack
with the other, shouting, "Wait! Wait!" That is how one gets a burro to stop in his tracks.



George: What in the hell are you doing?



Me: Trying to line up this shot. Alan, move your left ear a teensy bit to the right.



Me: Perfect. Now, George, put your ears back up so we can see Lucy's other eye.



George: Where's Hank? He has to be in this, too.



Me: Here he comes. Just hold still for a few more seconds.



*sigh*

  3. It's like herding a bunch of cats.

    I like the B&W shots. They are dramatic.

  4. Just use some Photoshop skills to add Hang to the 2nd to last shot. Sounds easy doesn't it.

  7. You forgot the treats. They need a treat for incentive. Good shot of the 3 of them anyway.
