Next time try setting up the photo so that no flash is required. You'll get faster reset time. You'll need a tripod or unipod, though, to steady the shot.

People are utterly and wholly insane for their shopping habits on Black Friday. I'm with you on that. Family is much more important than a few good bargains and a ton of insanity. I used to wait tables in a restaurant at the biggest outlet mall in Texas and I never saw anyone in a good mood on Black Friday. They were always grumpy, tired and just flat out mean. Why would you do that to yourself? The pics of the kids are so cute! It's always the ones that aren't perfect that are the true treasures! Thanks for visiting!! LOL!

I'm so close to absolute refusal going out that day that only running out of an essential would get me out. I know exactly what you mean about the slow flash. But then I've slowed down too because I've been going to get an updated family shot for about 3 years now. :) Welcome back!!
