Old and Improved Photo

Everyone has gone through the pain of taking group photos, family or not. It doesn’t have to be painful - and you can get some good photos out of the process too. These 5 steps will help you set everyone up, take the photo, and give some helpful hints to get the best pic. First, you want to make sure there is a clear open space for the group to be situated. Thinking about it beforehand helps, so there will be less questioning during the process of set-up. Give enough space for the entire group so no one has to be jammed together. Next is gathering the group. It’s helpful to give everyone a 5 minute warning to get ready for the photo. If people are hesitant, point out people and give them a place to stand. You should organize the group so the tallest people are in the back center. Shorter folks stay near the front, and everyone else can fan out from there.  Here's an interesting example of how to frame a group photograph. (Source) The most important step is to USE A TRIPOD!
