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?

Yes, I love this kind of pictures, but sometimes it is not easy to get them!
ReplyDeleteYour "stealth mode" was perfect to get this candid shot of people enjoying life... were you wearing your incognito sunglasses, too?
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your weekend, Jack.

You did an excellent job Jack, ever think of taking up espionage haha! I really like this relaxed shot,in focus too!! Have a 'top secret' weekend!!
ReplyDeleteNever thought that you'd be a stealth photographer! Good job; any tidbits from the conversations?
ReplyDeleteIt came out perfectly Jack! I love your reflections:)
ReplyDeleteYou are right Jack looks pretty good! Have a nice weekend!
ReplyDeleteVery well indeed, Jack. Love me some stealth-photo-for-blog walking by! Love it!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely! I'll have to try that.
ReplyDeleteIt 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.
ReplyDeleteLooks like it might be a wedding rehearsal party.
ReplyDeleteAnd you are one sneaky character. I think that's why I like you, although I would never, ever do anything like that myself.
Great shot Jack! Enjoy your Friday.
ReplyDeleteLooks like a class discussion of some sort. Good one!
ReplyDeleteIt turned out very well I'd say. Stealth photography can be very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI 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!
ReplyDeleteGood shot! I sometimes focus a bit away from someone and then turn and catch them before thy notice.
ReplyDeleteAh la nonchalance... ;-) Is this what is called a hip shot?
ReplyDeleteNice reunion ! Such a natural shot : I can almost hear the jokes and the laughes...
ReplyDeleteDefinitely yes, Jack!
ReplyDeleteDefinitely a "hip" shot, Jack! You're so talented!! I love it! And what great reflections! Hope you have a fun, photo taking weekend!!

That's what you call a random shot on the run - and it worked.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your week-end Jack!
Lovely and friendly energy!Wonderful moment, amazing capture and reflections!

Oh, another sneaky photographer! I do that. :)) Yes, this photo turned out very well.
ReplyDeleteNice sneaky photo, Jake!
ReplyDeleteCheers to them and cheers to you for a quick snap!
Nice job of capturing the moment!
ReplyDeleteThe photo gives the sense of walking by and noticing this scene.
