Description
Candid Street PhotographyYou take a camera into a bustling City Centre 7 days a week and you`re guaranteed to nab something different and unique every single time.
It never seems to generate the love that many other categories get here on DA,but personally I love it,admire it,think it was born to be converted to Black & White and will share some of my street stuff now and again....like right now
In the City I always have my cam wrapped round my wrist,locked on AV Mode with the smallest Aperture possible set,trigger finger ready.
I literally stepped out of the Car Park as this Girl walked past me and cos I was dialled in and good to go,I got this shot.
Be confident,be ready or you`ll miss it and it`s gone forever.
Thanks for looking,take care,hope you enjoy

You're right, if you miss it, it's gone forever ;] So great timing and composition for such a quick shot. Are you using a 17-40?

Thank you Patrick and that`s all intentional mate,I added extra blur around the fellow peeps to draw even more attention to the focus of the shot
For me,it works

Sometimes you have to take a quick look to make sure everything is in place
It's not only the photographer that needs to be aware! Great snag Jon!

As soon as you hit the City/town centre,shoot someone...the longer you wait,sat on a bench or leaning against a wall spending too much time and worrying that you`ll be spotted,the harder it will become
You are perfectly within your rights to shoot anything in the public domain.

PaperChainMemories In reply to JonnyGoodboy [2008-10-03 01:31:31 +0000 UTC]
Yeah, I'm perfectly aware of the rights. I've spent a lot of time reading up on them. I'm just not the kind of person that could deal with confrontation should it occur.

JonnyGoodboy In reply to PaperChainMemories [2008-10-04 20:14:30 +0000 UTC]
That`s good to hear,don`t worry about confrontation then,cos you can simply quote all your rights back in their face and put them in their place

I never feel any need to call on bravery when street shooting,but I know it`s very uncomfortable and challenging for some
Thanks Paul

I agree, deeply love candid street shots, they're so wonderful! And definitely perfect in black and white. I wish I could do more of them. This is a great example of what candid street photos can be, nice work.
