Photography rule #1: Do NOT relinquish your SLR to your model(s)!!!!!

 

Check here to see how I got PUNK’D and to see what I was shooting at that exact moment.

 

Picture it: Washington, DC...2007...one of the most beautiful couples ever to be photographed by yours truly braves subfreezing temperatures in order to accommodate the beauty of outdoor natural light as opposed to extremely shoddy indoor photography skills of...well...yours truly. The photographer comes up with an (in hindsight, NUTS!) interesting idea:

"Do CLONE shots of the boyfriend taking pictures of the girlfriend (and vice versa) so that there are several clones of 'him' pretending to do a photo shoot of one 'her' with an SLR camera! Brrrrrrrrilliant!!" (get the cold pun? Brrrrrrrrr? I'm not funny).

 

Having never used an SRL, the couple asked it if was okay to actually press the shutter and shoot each other while they pose for the clone shot! How could I say no?!?! It'd probably result in great shots!

 

The photoshoot comes to an end and we retreat to the car so they can see the morning's shoot in the LCD screen before heading home. When this shot showed up, I had a flashback to what the boyfriend had said when they first arrived:

BF: "You know we're going to have to make sure to get some shots of "Photo Pete" taking pictures."

GF: "Yeeeeeah, definitely, that'd be hot!"

 

Uh Oh!

 

BF (as this shot shows up on the screen): "We told you we'd get you."

GF: "And you BETTER put this on Flickr too!!!"

 

Ah, lessons learned! But a promise is a promise! Thanks for a SUPER PHOTO SHOOT GUYS!!! Patience and they'll start to appear here.
