An episode with Self timer...

An episode on May 31st , 2007- Memorial day
Place: Sedona, by the side of a stream
People at the scene: KB, Samba, Jack & Me

Action !


Jack taking pictures of the remaining 3 beside a stream, suddenly feels that he too should be part of the picture.



Jack: I want to be in the picture with the rest of you. How do set the self timer in the camera?

Samba (to the remaining 3 of us) : Technologically challenged guy !

Me: Get the camera here and I'll tell you

Jack: No. Let me figure this out myself.


(He set smthg and click! )




(snap was taken without self timer -incorrect setting! Jack, after couple of minutes figures out how to set it)



Jack: Ok ! I found it !


Samba: Jack, it's already set ! the 10 sec count down has started ! Rush !


Jack : But where do I keep it ??????????


(Click ! One more photo! this time with the self timer but too late in finding the place to keep the camera)





Jack : I found a place. Once more guys !


(all set, perfect poses, found a place to place the camera, information exchanged on where who should stand and jack places the camera on a small rock, starts the self timer and runs to take his position..made it just in time and CLICK ! )





KB(reviewing the snap): Now I'll show you how an expert takes a photo with a self-timer !


Rest of us: Let's see...


(KB finds a suitable place to keep the camera, adjusts the zoom. )


KB: Alright, found a perfect location, all set ???


(After a second..)


KB: Hey ! How do I set the self timer !!!!!!!


(CLICK!! a photo taken with camera in the perfect place for self-timer, but no self timer set :-) )








(After some research)


KB: Ok. I am all set now. Take positions...


(Places the camera in the perfect spot he found, sets the timer and rushes to his position. CLICK!!! )








Finally, a perfect photo with self-timer !





Moral of the story:


Failures are stepping 'ROCKS' to success ! It takes team effort for a successful project execution ! :-)
