This is a great hip shot. I even like the dude on the right of the frame. Really adds to the clandestine feel of it all.

nicely composed.
two very interesting figures, I really wonder if it would be better uncropped.

Thanks for kind words.
Again - that's just the style of cropping I use to go for most often.

What I love most about this moment is that you captured these little idiosyncratic facial expressions people have that others can relate to. The woman reminds me of my own grandmother so much, and the man of my uncle, or perhaps my teacher, or perhaps perhaps perhaps.... It's almost not a photograph of the people, but of these nostalgic memories that everyone has. Great job

I wasn't thinking about that while taking this picture, but I'm so very glad that you can find some meaning in it that is not so obvious. It's really fantastic that some viewers have so fresh ideas. Thank you for sharing, Ania.
BTW: do you speak Polish? I see you've been born in my country

Heh, my friend told me, that this piece became popular, cause everyone thinks I captured Moby
π: 0 β©: 1
Moby? ahahah, well yeah I guess when you capture a star in your photograph, it does become kinda popular
Moby? seriously? It really looks more like Vin Diesel. Definitely not Bruce Willis, But yeah the three of'em are bold.
π: 0 β©: 1
It'd go for Moby after all. Diesel is bigger
Frankly though, I was focused much more on the woman while taking this photo

well yeah, the guy on the back was everybody's second attention. but most of us commented on the guy just because he looks like a star
Must be cool if I were that guy. having people recognize you as a star and all

It's the kind of shot I want to be able to take. Sadly I don't have my camera ready too often, many times I think "damn, that would have been a great shot" when it's too late..

Happens to me all the time. But it's all right - at least I can learn how to observe world around me in a photographical manner, even when my camera is not with me.

I love their expressions
But...what exactly are they doing?

It's a train station, the woman is buying a ticket (or rather discussing about getting one) while the man behind her is waiting for his turn.
I took this photo while standing in a queue myself

Ah, ok
You caught them at just the right moment, their expressions are priceless

W sumie nie wiem, co tu narodowoΕΔ ma do rzeczy, ale dziΔki za komentarz

I absolutely love the expression on his face. The way the woman is standing makes me think 'Why is she there?' and 'Who is she talking to?'
The kind of photo that fills a head with questions is the best kind. Great job.

Thank you for your kind words, Cecilla.
Would you like me to spoil the mystery and explain this situation?
π: 0 β©: 1
Curiosity killed the cat, but as far as I know I'm more human than feline. An explanation would be welcome.

I've already explained it about 3 comments below, but let me copy and paste it here, especially for you

Very simple and yet such a wonderful photo. Good job.

I find this shot intriguing. As if there would be some story underlaying the moment photographed. The man's expression really is priceless especially when taking into account what the women is doing. : D

Yeah, it all fitted in pretty well
Thanks a lot for the comment. I'm glad you like the photo.

Excellent work with that shot! You have captured the moment here. You must be a master in that hip shots !
π: 0 β©: 1
Faaar from being a master. I still need to exercise a lot before I'll start to get satisfactory results every time. For example, I'm used to shoot at the widest end of my Leica lens, which is the equivalent of 28mm, but for this shot I zoomed to 50mm, which completely changes the field of view - something I'm not yet used to. I got lucky to get this one pretty decently, but as you can certainly see, it's not perfectly straight.
To master hip shots one must know his camera and lens perfectly, be able to evaluate the correct exposure settings in various lighting condition, be able to know exactly what his/hers lens 'see' at a moment, be able to focus on his subject using only lens' distance scale (I still trust my camera's AF system)...
As I said - I've got still plenty of practice ahead of me.
I'm very glad you like the shot. Take care!

Thank you for taking time to reply! AF many times gives unexpected results when it comes to hip shots.I found another trick to overcome that issue. I set the distance manually before and when I finally find my subject I try to get to the right distance using a wide lens . This is helpful when shooting with small f numbers.

Great capture, the position of the woman at the window and the man's expression... brilliant!
