Posing for BP

Uploaded: January 11, 2005

Description

Let me tell the story about this picture. There are 5 guys in the picture. I was able to cover four of them in a row and wished if the fifth guy could move away. To solve my dilemma, he jumped upon his friend's back. Obviously his friend was not pleased about this unexpected gesture...lol. You can see it from his expression...lol.

BP must be much more popular in the animal kingdom than I originally thought. I assume you used very slow ISO. #204043
