Description
At the Flying Heritage Collection yesterday I was lucky enough to get a good angle on one of the docents telling a story to a museum guest.
I quickly flipped my setting over to "sports mode," pointed the camera at this guy, and held the button down until he was done telling his story.
The captions are only a fair representation of the story ... the photos are the REAL story ... such a mobile face!
Series shot at full zoom on the tripod.
I showed the guy what I had on the camera, and he gave me his business card so I could send the images over to him. His wife loved the shots, so I offered to do a portrait for her. I'll probably post it later ...
Full view is an absolute must for this one!

Really wonderfully done! I love it. Very clever. :)
Fabulous, Tara!! What a marvellous series!
I love your story and the series of photos to go with it. The expressions on his face are wonderful.
Great Series.
beau travail!!
Tara this is an excelent idea. Instead of a cold portrait looking into the camera you made a montage and what hand and face gestures. Truly amazing what you done here.
fantastic and fun series! I can see everyone caught up in the tale!
Just like being there. A terrific idea.
And you are a storyteller with your camera. Superb work.
Super work!!

That is absolutely fantastic. Wonderful shots, everyone of them Tara. He has a very expressive and charming face. Bravo for a superb series.
nice work
So cool! I love it! :-) Rob
What a wonderful face he has! I love his expressions! Well done!
Omigosh, this is absolutely wonderful His expressions are so open and you can tell he's enjoying what he's doing. And I love how you turned it into a series as he related his story!!
Oh Hun - you think so creatively!!! Most wonderful series of images of this colorful chap!
What an enthusiastic series of action portraits. I don't know how it happens but every time we go to an art gallery, a museum or historic site, up comes the star docent on duty that day...to bring us information and his/her personality that makes the visit far more memorable than if we simply tried to do a 100% self-guided tour. So, you used your tripod and rapid-fire multiple exposures to capture "John" spinning his yarn. Well done!
Very creative work. You sure know what people want to see because you do it every time... Excellent
Every picture tells a story...you have the makings of a novel here.This is such a clever idea.Any single shot would have been great with the tale, but this is priceless and a commision piece too......marvelous, well done.
Wonderful expressions, love the face, excellent shot!
How fun and he was a good model :) ok, I must confess to a blond moment. After I followed the e-bot here, I couldn't find your image.. lol.. it took me a minute to realize it was the thin strip of images. :P
A fantastic a capture of the story - a smile on my face too! Thank you, Clive
This is a heart warming posting and so well presented. The captions are so wonderful Tara. Dana
