Gateway Glare

I was spotted. I waited for this shot as I was walking by...saw the dude climbing the stairs and fired at the right moment. He was so onto me.

I really love urban street photography. Adore it. Had a great photowalk with Meg yesterday in the city, even despite the blustery gray day. It kept us cooler.

Thanks for all of your kind comments and faves this week. Loved that you enjoyed Clara's joyous roller coaster ride and the moonrise in Paris (that shot was a total afterthought and quick snap). Thanks, too, for your support of Mad Hatters! @madhatters

@megmills Here's my fav from our time.

[Sheralee S]

I think so! Great shot, it makes me wonder what is reflection and what is real.

[Corinne]

Yes he saw you !

[Graham Thresher]

A fantastic composition. Fav

[~*~ Jo ~*~]

Wonderful shot

[Bill Fenske]

Great title and shot. He doesn't look very happy about it. love your tags.

[Simply Amanda]

@thresheg Thanks, Graham...I really loved the comp. So happy that the man got into the right place for me:).

@bill_fe Busted!! You'd think he'd like a pretty lady stalking him:).

@ziggy77 @cocobella @bella_ss Thanks, ladies!!

[Danny G.]

I love street photography too. Great timing, nice shot.

[👑 AnaZad]

Awesome capture at the right moment.

[Leslie]

very cool

[Bill Fenske]

@amandal Feel free to stalk me!

[Kerri]

Awesome shot

[Meg]

I wondered what your shot would be...this is GREAT!!!

[Maggiemae]

What's he got to be grumps about - He might think you are a commercial spy? Great reflections!

[Lisa Villella]

Love all the lines and reflections! Super Shot, Amanda!

[*lynn]

wonderful shot... love the capture of the man and reflections... fav

[Paula W]

Love all those criss-crossing lines and the hint of blue sky. He's definitely on to you!

[Catherine W.]

Very cool shot! I think it is better because he did spot you and was looking right at you! Well executed!!!

[Simply Amanda]

@wannabe I like that he coordinated his clothes with the colors and reflections, too. What a nice man:).

@bill_fe Thanks for permission to stalk:). If only everyone would be so kind!!

[Bill Fenske]

@amandal LOL

[Simply Amanda]

@bill_fe It would just make taking photos so much easier. I think the glares that I get add to the photos sometimes, though. And sometimes people laugh. Sometime I really need to ask for permission for photos. I want to be able to get street portraits that way.

[Michael Elliott]

Cool reflections. Funny how he spotted you.

[carol white]

Great reflections,a super shot:-)

[Bill Fenske]

@amandal I agree, the glare from that little girl in the reenactment photo was priceless. I've shot homeless people twice now, quite some time before I joined 365. Both times, I asked and got permission. Although the first one, I'm not so sure he had the capacity to give me permission. As I was leaving, he hollered out 'Cobalt Blue" and then went on to explain that he rode a cobalt blue bike to a bar, and when he came out, it was gone.

[Simply Amanda]

@bill_fe Hmmm, I have a cobalt blue bike. Funny that. Love the color. it's in this photo in fact. Yes, glares can really be cool. I do love good street photography and look forward to the day when I feel safe and secure approaching people, though.

[gloria jones]

Like the lines, reflections...nice capture.

[Jocasta]

Brilliant - love the reflections and the glare is perfect

[Call me Joe]

Coolness fav!:)

[Lin]

Love all the reflections and especially that glare - well titled, too.

[KWind]

Great lines. I like the blue and the guy's stare.

[Ashley]

Wonder what went thru his mind! Hope he's flattered!

[Rachel]

Great capture, love the composition and reflections. Not sure he was that pleased though!

[Saxa van Eijnsbergen]

Clicked at the right time, I like the blues in it too!

[Newbank Lass]

Busted. But he so makes the shot.

[Simply Amanda]

@newbank Loved him in there!

@overalvandaan I was so glad he got the memo and dressed to match the reflections:).

[summerfield]

busted, eh! he'll get over it, don't worry! nice one, kiddo. i have a thing about people walking up and down stairs and i see them through glass walls. the same way i love taking photos of people walking or biking on overhead walkways or bridges.
