Talking The harder it is to take the photo, the better the photo turns out?

A month or two ago, I saw a funny photo on Facebook that I re-shared, of a guy doing a “Kung Fu” pose while taking a photo. And then about 2 weeks ago, I saw a blog post shared on Google+ with a collection of ‘funny poses’ of photographers taking photos – some of them great

The gist was, the harder it is to take the photo, the better the photo turns out?

Well continuing on that theme, while at Nelson Bay last week, Kate and I took our own collection of funny photo poses. I used her compact as my camera, while she took photos of me using the camera phone. It was a lot of fun, and sometimes quite tricky and hard work holding the pose for long enough!

Check out the photos here

Lol. I've done some of those poses too. The kung fu style poses actually make sense. Very stable base, and that's what you need.

Great joke, Mike! Some of the postures recognizable - used to make them myself (with some variations). On serious note - yoga exercises while shooting don't help much - except adding some shake to the camera. It'hard to learn the right technique, then a good photo is just a matter of luck and vision.
