Shotgun Wedding

by Dubious Drewski

The groom and groomsmen were ready for the wedding an hour ahead of schedule. The father then had a wonderful idea: "Why don't we kill time doing some clay shooting?".

Disbelief tugged at my mind as I followed the four tuxedoed men out to the field as they loaded up their shotguns and gave me one of the most unique "wedding" photos I've ever taken.

Lots of film bodies, a couple of digital ones, too many lenses (mainly older glass) and a Horseman LE 5x4.

Great capture, could perhaps have done with all of the legs of the shooters showing, but I love it anyway!

I second aliengrove's comment above, a little more on the bottom and right would have been nice but still love it, classic shot!

Including the legs would have upset the whole composition. There is one small distraction and that is the vertical between gents 3 and 4, but hey.....!
If this is the kind of wedding you go to Dubi I'm having great difficulty visualising you at a funeral!!
