Dear Rajan,
Thanks. I now understand what you mean by candid. As, in unposed or
rather the subject being unaware -- that her image is being shot/may
be shot or is being desired. I see now that you happened on her, while
shooting the landscape, as opposed to having seeked her out. Earlier,
I was seeing it differently, to mean -- if in this candid picture --
whether the subject was aware that a camera was around, though not
necessrily pointing or following her. This is nothing against you, its
me seeking precision in terms of visual meaning -- between a subject
appearing candid as opposed to being unaware. There are images where
the subject gives oneself to the lens, but the image may still be
considered candid.
