Do you not get probs shooting in bars/cafes at all ? Or does your technique somehow cover up the taking ? Impressive candids anyway !
TFS ...

Thanks pal
He was indeed a beggar, a dropped a couple of quid off in his hat after (not for a pose i might add lol). This shot of another beggar, was something i just had to shoot and explain later, i knew she was going to notice me i wanted her to look up at me, as i wanted show how girls in her situation are literally and figuratively looked down on. Had a little chat with her after, very nice kid. I explained myself, she got it.

I've never had a single problem in a bar. Anybody near me knows i have a camera, i use short lenses. But i try my best to pick the right time, and i hardly ever get noticed. I'd like to put that down to skill, but its true that people actually do their own thing and forget the world around them. Which is what i hope for
I got in a fight last year, i have the shot that caused the fight. went against everything i normally do. Took a shot of two guys hugging, was way too far away to tell they were half cut., & i appeared out of the blue. Ended up with four of us fighting in the road while my partner and friend ran off down the street with my gear.
Never put me off, i took this shot a few hrs after the fight

There is no real difficulty in getting shots of people with out them knowing. The hard part is trying to make it interesting.
