Always be ready to shoot

Darn it, we totally missed this shot. We were still setting up when they started goofing off. My husband snapped the camera that was sitting on the tripod (lopsided because I hadn't set it up yet) when he saw this happen. Unfortunately the guy is cut off. I WISH so bad I could see his facial expression. I bet it's priceless.

We struck out on this one. 

ETA: I guess I should explain the weapons. The bride is a black belt in karate and does um, some other Japanese fighting things that I can't spell or remember. Most of the people in the shot are in her karate group.

gee thanks, always wanted a weapons lesson, lol.

Sounds like a good excuse to find a small, good point & shoot you can keep in your pocket.  Looks like one of those cases where catching the moment / memory is more important than technical perfection and megapixels.

I'm not saying use it as your primary   They probably wouldn't have even noticed.
