Weekly Challenge #70 - Group Shots
Posted By: atupdate, 09-10-2008, 12:23 PM

Weekly Challenge #70 – Group Shots

I'm looking for creative group shots that tell a story or make you want to know more about the story. Standard posed groups shots are also allowed but would need to be exceptional to win. I've posted a couple of examples after the challenge rules. As you can see, my definition of "group" is pretty loose.

Please submit entries until midnight EST on Wednesday, September 17, 2008.

Good luck and good light to all.

Tim

1. Post ONE photo (max 1000x1000).
2. The photo must portray an interpretation of the theme. It can be color or B&W, your choice.
3. You can offer as much or as little additional information as you wish, but if you have to explain it, it probably doesn’t communicate what you are trying for.
4. The challenge is interactive. Any response is welcome.
5. The judge will pick the WINNERS and chose 1 of them to be the judge for the next week.

OK, lets do it....

Normally, group shots are pictures that show people (or animals) somewhat related to each other for certain circumstances... but what about group shots of totally unrelated people, that got caught in a moment where everyone has to be together for certain circumstances?

Here is my entry: "three fat ladies and a fat guy..."

This is usuall scene every year in the night of opening of Dubrovnik Summer festival. There is a firework and people are trying to get the best place to see it, some on land, some on sea. This is how it looks
