How I got the shot #9
Sooner or later I'm going to run out of these (something tells me it might be sooner as I've just had a look and yes - I'm definitely running out!) The problem isn't getting in the weird positions, I do that every time! The problem is getting a photo of me in the weird position! Usually my wife, the wonderful will grab a quick snap, but she's often a little busy herself, after all - we're both there to photograph the couple! We'll make a real effort this wedding season to remember Steemit when we shoot ;-)!
After the other images I've shared, where I was lying down in the rain, mud, dirt and every other 'not-so-nice' thing you can imagine, this one is pretty much a luxury scenario. Lying down on a warm cobbled road in the stunning Ibiza old town wasn't exactly too much of a hassle but - as is always the case - it definitely put a smile on our couples face as they turned to walk towards us and saw me lying prone on the floor!
And that's the best thing about this kind of shot, just give it a try sometime. Ask a couple to walk away from you and, after 20-30 feet turn around and walk back. When they see you on the floor I guarantee they at least crack a smile!
