[QUOTE="Lawrence, post: 355972, member: 16844"] 14th September One of the PDFs Jake sent me is by a guy who does "street photography" - specifically candid portraits. He uses a 50mm prime and without permission is right in people's faces! Included in the PDF are two 30 second videos showing how he does it. I nearly peed in my pants laughing when watching them. He is so quick and so outrageous that the people he photographs from 3 ft away look behind to see what he was photographing. His secret is to never make eye contact. The PDF is full of great ideas and with many you need a seriously big pair to execute. Anyway it was inspiring. So today I hitched up my 35mm (don't have a 50mm) and set off with camera in "A" mode. The A mode seemed weird in itself but if I was to do this I had to be quick! I don't have quite as big "goonards" as one needs it would seem and I basically bailed! :redface-new: I took a few from a long way away and then did some serious cropping. Even from across the street this guy gave me the hairy eyeball but I loved his expensive looking jacket and what I figure must be his favourite boots!
