A Photo a Week Challenge: Getting Your Ducks in a Row

I’ve noticed a new trend in group photography: putting everyone in a single line. This has the advantage that everyone is in the same plane for your depth of field, but it can also cause its own issues. If you are shooting an extended family picture, they won’t all fit. You can also get too many jarring level changes. For this shoot, the kids in this family weren’t too many for the first problem, and having them sit helped with the second one.

IN A NEW POST CREATED FOR THIS CHALLENGE, SHARE A PHOTO OR TWO (OR MORE) OF SUBJECTS IN A LINE OR ROW.

Everyone is welcome to participate, even if your blog isn’t about photography.

Here’s how it works:

1. Each week, I’ll come up with a theme and post a photo that I think fits. You take photographs based on your interpretation of the theme, and post them on your blog (a new post!) anytime before the following Thursday, when the next photo theme will be announced.
2. To make it easy for others to check out your photos, title your blog post “A Photo a Week Challenge: (theme of the week)” and be sure to use the “postaday″ tag.
3. Come back here and post a link to your image in the comments for this challenge.
4. Follow nancy merrill photography so that you don’t miss out on weekly challenge announcements.
