Although Pete and I have been working on this Project 365 "together", that together-ness usually only extends to reminding and encouraging each other to get our pictures taken, edited, and posted each day. Often we take the our pictures that end of being "the one" for the day in each other's presence, or somehow facilitate making the pictures happen, but we have yet to attempt to take our pictures TOGETHER...until tonight.
Pete had a fun idea where we would mount our cameras on our respective tripods, load the remotes, and attempt to get the picture you see above by clicking our camera "remotes" at the exact same time. We also attempted to "pose" to make the subject of the picture interesting, too. Of our 24 attempts, I captured the desired effect just once; another time I was very close -- in fact, so close so that there was too much light. Pete's timing seemed to be more accurate, and he caught me a couple of times. But the process itself ended up being quite fun. We caught some pretty goofy faces, worked through the doubt and skepticism of two of my neighbors, and ended up with some pretty decent pictures in the process.
Although I hope that we can try more projects like this in the future, I promise to keep them to a minimum; I know that many of you read both of our blogs and the entertainment value would be significantly diminished if the content on both were the same. Alas! Do not fear...for I doubt Pete would post endearing pictures of himself such as these on his blog. :)
