Ha!
Really it's just a case of bullying them until I get a shot or bored... LOL
If we're at my Mam's I position 2 flashes on triggers as soon as I walk through the door (one on the mantelpiece and one on a small bookcase) pointing at the ceiling...
Now I have a massive light source for later and nobody really noticed I was setting it up cos I'm talking and messing up my sisters hair and stuff as I do it...
Leave the camera in the bag...
Play with the kids for half an hour or so, all boys so wrestling is the main game...
Have a drink and some food...
Then get the camera out...
Here's one of my sister and her boy Bananaface and a second (not what I consider a keeper) that shows a bit of the set-up (although I think my mam may have turned it)
There's another flash behind me and the brown sofa in the 1st is to my left....
