Tried some bvy style street photography yesterday. Not a genre I am comfortable with. I thought this was fairly interesting.

I'm not comfortable doing that kind of shooting either Steve. You did a good job. B&W would be really cool.

Hanging around the neck from the strap, walking along with my hand casually on the camera. Set to the widest focal length. You can probably aim the camera better than I can without having to look. The angle was how the shot was taken, though I did crop it.


Sorry. Didn't realize this was for the snapshot SC. As such, it's cool. I still suspect you're capable of some pretty awesome street work. Don't make me come down there!

Yes it's a good shot for this challenge. I use your technique for taking people shots since I'm uncomfortable having them see me take their shot. I usually am looking in another direction when I press the shutter with my thumb :)

Heh! Good catch with the pose. And yeah, it'll do for a snapshot. Keep up with it, practice it, and sooner or later you'll get a beyond-snapshot into street shot out of the deal.

A neat street scene, the guy looks like he's waiting for them to come by.

If you would've waited 5 seconds, you would've got the shot of him snatching the purse. :P
