Since I recently began taking street photography, I've noticed a bit of a trend... I'm being spotted! I try to take candids of subjects without them noticing me, but I've captured a few images where the person I'm shooting looks back at me. These images make for some fairly compelling shots on their own. Anyone have any good "outtakes"? Here's my favorite so far...
Hey, it happens to all of us. Sometimes the "I caught ya look" is a better shot than what you originally were going for. Your above shot is Exhibit A in making my argument. :-)
@cromwell While I considered posting this one as my photo of the day, the interplay between the two ladies was more interesting to me than the interplay between them and myself.
Wow! That's a priceless shot. When I get "busted" for taking the photo - pretty easy since I'm usually shooting with 50mm or less on the street - I don't take the camera away from my eye, but call over to them, "Don't look at the camera!" It seems to work like a charm, although for the life of me I couldn't tell you why.
I haven't done much street photography and this was one of my first tries. I called it The Stand Off because the guy who spotted me in the middle of the shot looks like he's going for his six-shooters, lol.
While i was walking in Prague, this interesting appeared and i knew i had to take a picture. They were walking wight towards me... I took the picture quickly, the man noticed me right away, so I just smiled at him, he smiled back... Nothing less, nothing more...
@northy LOL! that one cracked me up! the ones furthest away....bwahahahaha!! @paulavdmerwe I just love the two boys, so darn cute! @aspada, fabulous shot!
He TOTALLY busted me and I'm glad I did. I went over to introduce myself and had a chance to meet him and learn a bit of his story. He's my favorite buster!
Not got a busted shot as such though the only time that i have been busted is whilst s fraiming a shot up for the Stars SPN challenge a guy walked pass me a said " Not without my agent." and continued on his way.

And when someone does spot you they sometimes do the opposite and look away!!
