No matter. Good topic. Good tips.<br /><br />I am of two minds on this. I snipe but I also ask permission to shoot. A semi-candid shot - usually a head shot. But I have a variation on this approach also which works in groups of people at events - that is people who might be in the target area for a while. (I'm not sure I like all these hunting references.) After I get their permission and get a shot and maybe share the image with them I wander off and wait a bit and then get more shots of the same person/people in full candid form. As you observed, they have forgotten about me and for my part since I have their permission I have no anxiety at all about the effort. I remember the first time I did this wasn't really planned. I was roaming an event in a city park and there was this young guy with his dog I wanted to shoot. But he had locked onto me and it wasn't working. So I walked up and told him I really needed a human/dog shot for a club photo challenge - semi-true - would he mind? He and the lab posed for a couple of shots. I said thanks and walked away. Went about 10 yards, swiveled and ran off a series of shots. It worked mainly because I had started something between him and his pet and they had continued to play. And that was what I wanted. They never knew what hit them. :)<br /><br />Happy New Year!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2013427813919109950.post-77254560699141176162012-11-19T20:36:03.384-05:002012-11-19T20:36:03.384-05:00Another brilliant example of your gift for seeing ...Another brilliant example of your gift for seeing incredible beauty where so many might only see the mundane and then sharing it with the rest of us.
