Sort of a joke (for Pawdrix), but actually my first attempt at the bvy technique: preset camera, walk past, swing camera behind as I pass by. Slight crop and rotation - 2 degrees - it was so almost straight I had to (unbvylike). The other woman is crocheting, though not so busily as the motion blur suggests.

Oh, and that's the edge of my jacket. Oops.

I like the motion blur on this one, really gives a different (good) feeling

Reading AND crocheting? Oh dear... :-) I kinda like the edge of the jacket bit.

Thanks bvy. (Actually I thought I had boosted the ISO, but the little panny requires an extra affirmation action that I sometimes forget; it also isn't that much bigger than your Oly, and is very easy one-handed).

Again, I'm flattered. The "arm swing technique" requires a small camera and a pretty fast shutter -- nothing slower than about 1/100, and even then it's a crap shoot. Try boosting your ISO if your camera can handle it.

Something else I just thought of -- maybe only 1 in 5 of the shots I capture like this actually come out. So I get a lot of what you got -- motion blur, bad focus, a sleeve or camera strap in the picture. It's really a haphazard way to shoot candids, but it's a lot of fun (for me anyway), and when I'm lucky, I get some things that are really up close and personal.


Sunglasses help too...
