...just taking a break

He was busy but he's taking a break from his iPhone.
I just have a couple more of these -sorry I'm busy - photos.
This series of photos were all taken shooting from the hip as I passed people.
I'm always a little uneasy about taking candid photos without asking permission but not uneasy enough not to do it.

Nicely observed again... I'm curious to know if you used auto-focus or pre-focused on the hyperfocal distance for the focal length/aperture that you were using?

Good result -- the framing is so effective with the stairs' curves serving as leading line. Amazing especially for a shoot from the hip shot.

@vignouse Thanks, again. I used auto focus - taken on the move. The SonyA7 has focus peaking so a quick look at the back of the camera and the peaking dots show what's in focus.

It's a fascinating and slightly disturbing phenomenon

The stair handrail makes a really cool frame. I'm enjoying this series. They highlight how smart phones have impacted on our day to day lives.

In my opinion the best way to take a photo! Perfectly framed & a nice low shot!

To have shot from the hip it really has some nice compositional elements, such as framing and lines
