Weekend Reflections: Friends

This is a walk-by shot.

Two dozen young people were having drinks and socializing.  As I approached the group, I pulled a small camera from my pocket, held it nonchalantly around my belt buckle, and clicked the shutter button as I sauntered past the group.  It came out pretty well, don't you think?

  2. Your "stealth mode" was perfect to get this candid shot of people enjoying life... were you wearing your incognito sunglasses, too?

    Enjoy your weekend, Jack.

  9. It came out quite well. Recently, when I was at the Kemper Museum, I tried to get a shot of people looking at painting like you did recently and it felt so invasive. This resulted in blurred photos. I have found it difficult to take photos in museums, even though allowed without flash, but the attendants standing in each room seem to keep a keen eye on me.

  10. Looks like it might be a wedding rehearsal party.

    And you are one sneaky character. I think that's why I like you, although I would never, ever do anything like that myself.

  14. I like to take pictures this way, especially to picture people, as I don't dare to ask them. Sometimes the result is surprisingly good, like this one!

  15. Good shot! I sometimes focus a bit away from someone and then turn and catch them before thy notice.
