I'd love to have your people as subjects. Great catch Brenda.
To become truly immortal, a work of art must escape all human limits: logic and common sense will only interfere. But once these barriers are broken, it will enter the realms of childhood visions and dreams.

Thanks, Kelly! The ones I took at the beach were with my telephoto, so I didn't feel as awkward as usual because I could obviously shoot people from further away and hope they didn't notice, but other than that I feel like I need to hide behind a tree, haha.Kelly wrote:Those are great, Danielle - and I was hoping someone would bring up the fact that photographing strangers is awkward! I never know if I should point the camera right at people and hope they don't notice.....hide behind a tree......
Anyone willing to share their approach?

It might be easier for a women to hide behind a tree and take the shot but a man hiding behind a tree and taking random shots of people could lead to an arrest or at least questioning. LOL. Looks a little creepy.
Sometimes I just aim my camera (without looking through the view finder) and shoot. I did a whole day of that years ago for an art class while in NY.

This is so much easier to do now with digital than with traditional cameras.Bill_K wrote:Sometimes I just aim my camera (without looking through the view finder) and shoot.
I rarely take random people photos, but then I generally prefer non-people photography anyway (as a photographer, not a viewer).

Here's another photo from the jamboree on Saturday. This woman was having a ball dancing by herself. I don't think that alcohol had anything to do with it--she was just being a free spirit. I don't think that the little boy understood though.
