Getting a dozen or so people in a shot – which needed to include me – was never going to be easy, especially as it needed to be shot at a time when the sun would be high in the Perth sky, and the group included ages from 2 to 75.
I put the camera (with a flash on the hotshoe) on a tripod, focussed manually, used aperture priority to ensure enough depth of field and asked another guest at the party to release the shutter.
