I think these are quite good, especially the first one: it's captured a moment, something only still photography can do.

I'm often out in remote areas with nobody to help, so I've become adept at using a wireless remote and/or timer.

Thinking about it, the only time strangers take my family photos is when they come up and offer.  And generally, they know what they're doing.  In the same way, if I see someone taking a photo of their family, I'll often volunteer to take the shot so that the whole family can be in the photo.  Sometimes I won't even charge for this   There is a good spirit of camaraderie amongst photographers.

It was 17-40 at 17mm, we landed right in the front of the camera. Dancing practice during last years helped
