[Fot] Watkins Glen Photo Op???? Historic Triumphs

[koblinger at verizon.net]

I've done some group photos before. Lots to consider. You need a good sized space, good light, background and a ladder or lift. Oh ya, and a bullhorn helps! And planning, planning, planning! It's a lot like herding cats.

Here's links to a couple of examples. I didn't set these up myself but got to see how it was done. And when it's done right.. ohh baby!

I'm planning on going to the Glen, still some arrangements to make. Be happy to help.

Cheers,
Kurt O.
