[QUOTE="BackdoorArts, post: 331160, member: 9240"] Thanks, all. The Marine shot marks a turning point for me. I have done very little street photography, mainly because I've always had a thing about approaching strangers with a camera. I saw him today sitting at a table and knew he'd be a great photo, but I didn't want to shoot him serupticiously, particularly after walking around him a few times and realizing that there wasn't going to be a good shot unless he looked right at me. He didn't seem the ultra-friendly sort, but I said, "Screw it!", and just walked up and said, "'morning! Would it be alright if I took your picture?" He didn't say a word, just chuckled loudly, turned his head to me and smiled. Absolutely not what I was expecting him to do, and I was happy as I could be - particularly because of that chipped-tooth smile. I won't be as intimidated to ask someone next time. I still think I prefer the idea of B&W for street, but there's something about the color of a farm market or outdoor event that makes me prefer the color for that. I've tucked the recipe away for future use as I really like the feel. I'm off to an arts & craft show today, so we'll see what I get out of that, though I have to work it a little. [/QUOTE]
