50mm takes to the Streets

It would seem that I have become brave enough to start taking candid street shots - it isn't so - my camera was hanging around my neck and I was fiddling with the focus and clicking - occasionally I tilted or lifted it higher than my waist. Once or twice I put it to my eye. Subsequently I ended up with many blurred ( some are actually okay ) shots and shots of the sky or ceiling - I liked these ones - street, supermarket and butcher
Nice set of candids look ace as montage !

@paul2782 thank you - wasn't really sure if they'd go together - fiddled around a bit with it lol - but I didn't want to take up places with them all separately - just started a tumblr, when I can figure out what I am doing on there I will put them there

@annied tumblr is ok but if you hit the get 4990 followers by hitting this tab just end up with a stream of crap blogs about anything : it's good I have a site but spend so much time on here haven't uploaded to it for weeks !

@paul2782 I have a FB page pretty much just for pics but people need to be on FB to look - It's a quandary hahaha

I am not sure what camera you have Annie, but do you know you can get a "candid lens" on EBay? It means you are not pointing the camera directly at the person whom you are shooting, so much easier to get candid shots x x

I still can't quite bring myself to do this unless I am somewhere really touristy where it looks like I am photographing the touristy thing rather than the people, so well done, great collage.

@lyndag Thanks Lynda I will look into that
@paulaw hahaha I know Paula - I felt funny just having the camera hanging around my neck - I got strange looks even for that

Once again, the collage works!

good for you, I want to try some street photography, someone suggested using a small camera - maybe I'll try with one of the point and shoot models still in use at home

Great shots especially considering you were 'shooting from the hip'. Works really well as a montage.
