Some times, we take group photos at party or some event. It takes time to gather everyone and when they are there in front of the camera, we have few seconds. Most of the time, you will find that eyes of some of the people are closed. If the eyes of the key persons in the group, like bride or groom, are closed, the photo becomes sort of useless.
To make sure I have one good group photo, I take multiple shots. On most cell phone cameras, it is simple. Just keep the shutter release button pressed. This will take 5 to 10 photos in a second. Or, just press and release the button quickly. For cameras, you can change the setting to Continuous shooting mode. Then, you can keep the shutter release button pressed and camera will take few pictures. After you are done, view the photos. Keep the best one and delete all others! It does not cost anything these days with digital cameras! You don't waste film so make it a habbit to take few photos when you are shooting a group of more than 2-3 people! For a bigger group, even with multiple shots, there will be people with eyes closed. However, you will have some photos in which those people have eyes open. You can share good photos selectively!
Note: There is also some software which can help you open eyes in problem photo from a good photo!
