Last 30 seconds of 2011

A strange pic but like to try something different. I set my camera on tripod and set exposure to 30secs, told everyone to keep still and then at 23.59:.20 I set the self timer to go.. the idea was the photo would be exactlyat midnight! I was a second out so it was took at 23:59:59! Difficult keeping still for 30 secs hence the lack of a *smile* though we were *smiling soon afterwards..
as I said there is always next year!
