Team Photo online


OK, now I'm beginning to understand why school photographers have to be such fascists to get 30 children all looking at the camera at the same time.


Some of you have seen me wandering around with copies of one of the prints from the squad photo and if you've ordered one please do come and grab me (and/or pay me, depending on where you grab) to get your copy.

Since then I have gone through all 7 exposures to find the most presentable (and in some cases visible) head for each of the boys. I think I succeeded fairly well, with only Jonathan and Adie Mort managing to mostly evade the camera. The Bennett was, of course, beyond help.
If you don't think your son looks as good as he should then I'm afraid there's a limit even to Photoshop's abilities and you'll just have to get used to him - or please remind me to make sure they aren't wearing their gumshields next time.

I've priced the prints at £2 for an A4 copy and £5 for an A3-ish one. I will check with the frame shop in Winchester to find out what is the closest "standard" team photo sized frame to A3 and aim to make it compatible with that. Of course, you're welcome to download and save or print the one posted on the web, if you wish.

If you have already ordered a copy of the ones I passed around then hold tight, I have printed them and will bring them to the next Sunday after half term. Anyone who has not orered a print yet, take a look at the picture here and let me know by email which size you would like (also, please let me know which son is yours, so I can try to track you down if necessary).
