[QUOTE="RickSawThat, post: 76525, member: 8289"] I am typically 5 to 20 feet from my subjects. I am in plain sight and want them to see I am taking their picture. I am looking for either their reaction to the camera or when it seems like they expose something in their personality. I find an interesting person and focus in on them and watch and shoot a few shots till I feel I have a good image. Lately the people have been walking towards me as I shoot and they come within 6 inches to 1 foot as they pass me. They see me looking at them and pushing the button. No one seems to mind they just go about their day. I just shoot like I'm supposed to be there. There is no sense of intrusion or nervousness on my part and in turn I think they feel the same. But I am shooting in Hollywood where things are not quite the same as the midwest or other parts of the country. I use a 70-300mm f4.5/5.6 lens 90% of the time. By the time they are within 5 to 6 feet of me I only see part of their face in the frame. I keep seem to be shooting tighter and tighter crops ;) Hope this helps. [/QUOTE]
