Thanks for the good advices. Best regards, Manuel On 09/03/31 23:21, Bob W p...@web-options.com wrote: I liked very much of the two photos, but I'd like to ask something. These kind of photography attracts me a lot, but I usually tend to be a bit embarrassed to point the camera at someone in order to catch the moment, as you did, sometimes because If I am going to be quick enough it seems I am steeling that picture, other times if I wait a bit to much they look at me and a lot of things can happen. How do you manage to do these beautiful and touching photos. And this question it's not just for you because some of the guys here in the list have lovely photos of moments like those. Best regards, Manuel it takes practice. Sometimes people are just too absorbed to notice what you're doing. Other times they notice, but let you have the shot. And of course, quite often they don't want you to take the shot so, depending on the situation, you either walk away or grab it anyway. Some photographers can make themselves invisible somehow. In fact, the more you take this kind of photo the more easily you can make yourself invisible. I think it is something to do with confidence, observation and knowing when to raise the camera. John Malcolm Brinnin wrote a memoir of the time he spent travelling around the US with Henri Cartier-Bresson. In it he describes how HCB took about 20 photographs of one woman just walking from one room to another, with HCB, and the woman didn't even notice. He also describes them going to a gambling den - For more than an hour he photographed the play at pool tables and slot machines, working so unobtrusively that his subjects seemed unaware of him or, if they were, unperturbed by the intrusion of a presence so patently bland. So the secret of good photography is this: be patently bland.

How do you manage to do these beautiful and touching photos. And this question it's not just for you because some of the guys here in the list have lovely photos of moments like those. Well, there's no single way to do it, but for many of these sorts of shots I'm shooting from the hip. Okay not really from the hip, but I'm not looking through the viewfinder. Usually the camera is around my neck and I'm pointing it in the direction of the subjects. I try not to stare at the subjects, in fact I'll often look in the other direction, only glancing once in a while to see if anything interesting's happening. I'll stand (or sit) there with my finger on the shutter release, camera pointed at them, my body often pointed in a different direction. In other words I try to look as inconspicuous as possible. Then I just snap when the time feels right. And hope that no one hears. If anyone looks my way I act as if nothing's happening, no chimping or anything else. For most of my street shots I do look through the viewfinder but I act as natural as possible and just shoot away as if it's no big deal. Or sometimes I'll chat with the subjects and get them comfortable before snapping them. Basically, whatever works. cheers, frank -- Sharpness is a bourgeois concept. -Henri Cartier-Bresson -- PDML Pentax-Discuss Mail List PDML@pdml.net http://pdml.net/mailman/listinfo/pdml_pdml.net to UNSUBSCRIBE from the PDML, please visit the link directly above and follow the directions.
