he's like the community watchman, a father figure, a moralist, a philosopher, and a bouncer... all in one frame. Decipher that all you want.

Digging your aiming with the hip shots, Meredith. Nicely captured and converted. A lovely clean shot that doesn't need spoiling by further editing.

hehehe, because he looks all intimidating and tough, like he's guarding the streets. too bad he's pretty old and isn't really intimidating at all. hehe.

cool shot. i hate having to shoot from the hip but when it comes to street shots my current stradegy is to have my big obvious DSLR and then my tiny pocket canon a630 so that it doesn't look like i'm obviously taking photos of people. dont have to look thro the viewfinder of the PAS so id just pretend im looking at old photos. hehe. i love taking sneak shots of people sometimes.

anyways, this is a great caputre. i like the arrow pointing at him too, and the contrast is great. excellent b&w.

thank you so much. yes, it's tough street-shooting with a DSLR. that's why i started strapping it to my wrist instead of around my neck, and then shooting from the hip so that i can get more natural, unposed shots. it's fun to try something new, too. your strategy is a good one!

The arrow is kind of funny. Nice composition.
Why were you shooting from the hip?

rhapsouldize In reply to eskimoblueboy [2007-09-12 12:48:59 +0000 UTC]

thanks! shooting from the hip helps when you don't want people to know you're photographing them. also, i really like the varied compositions that it provides!

hmm... maybe i will... but i was trying to keep the original composition, since i didn't edit it other than channel mixer and contrast.
