Re: If you like candids.....

Not the type of photography I do [I just don't feel comfy doing it] but these are pleasing,either just to look at or make you wonder what's going on,what is he/she thinking!.Hard to pick a 'favourite' but No1 takes it for me pesonally

No....the worst was when I started taking shots of a road accident, some bystanders made it quite clear they thought it was bad taste. Local paper published two photos though.

To me, that is the key, a candid is that they don't know you are taking it.

Thanks for taking the trouble to look and for comments.

Re: If you like candids.....

Off to Cambridge for a birthday today and there is a photo treasure hunt round the city centre, so I may try a few candids as we take photo's to prove we got the clues. Never done it before, so must remember to be sneaky and unobtrusive.
As for me, number 4 I could see selling well as a stock image. number 5, great movement andnumber 1 is a great character study.

I appreciate your comments Whipspeed and yes, give it a go in Cambridge. But you don't have to be sneaky just unobtrusive

Re: If you like candids.....

Nice set of shots, tough to pick a favourite but the first is very intriguing....I think the second is probably my least favourite and only because of the two bodies in front of the subject takes something away from the shot for me. That may well just be me though, I just find it hard to look at for some reason. I have done the odd candid and enjoyed it but am not totally comfortable with it, down to my shyness I think.....Hope I get over that as i'd like to do more.

Re: If you like candids.....

Thanks kindly Ken, Sonsey Made me think which was my favourite. I think the restaurant because no-one even noticed me take it and also the movement blurs. Thanks for looking.
