TODAY'S eTIP(TM): Strike a Pose, People!

When posing a group of people for a photo, remember that people
tend to get impatient in such situations, especially if they're
among the first to get posed. Staying enthusiastic and cheerful
buys you time and patience from your subjects. Some of the
following ideas have proven to work in the past:

* Don't worry, mon. It helps to explain to your subjects
not to worry about posing until everyone is in place.
Keep them relaxed as long as you can, because posing is
tiring and stressful for most people.

* Please, stay put. Stress to people that you're going to
take more than one photo and ask them not to flee like
startled deer the first time the flash goes off. (Every
time they laugh at one of your jokes, you've gained a
couple more minutes of patience from them.)

* Flashers. If your digital camera uses a preflash or
red-eye reduction of any sort, either turn it off (if
possible) or alert your subjects to ignore the
preflash. Otherwise, they will release their poses just
as the main flash fires. When you're ready to shoot,
tell everyone to look directly into the camera lens.
Look carefully through your viewfinder and quickly
check each person to make sure that you can see
everyone's face. If you can't, stop and correct poses.
If you can, start shooting!

Keep your sense of humor, no matter how challenging the group
shot may get. If you can keep everyone smiling and relaxed,
you'll get a good shot sooner or later.
