24th November 2014 - Let me tell you about Owls

You might think this is a shot of the hawk in the foreground but no it is a street shot of the people standing behind. I thought if I pointed the camera at the bird they wouldn't notice me taking their photo. Converted to B&W for our mentoring group this week. Not even sure if this counts as "street" although it is in a public place. I must try to get out with my camera and take some street shots this week.

One for the Six word story challenge - don't forget to take part!

ulploaded for my extras album
@taffy @newbank @888rachel @golftragic A quick Iphone shot at the garden centre. I don't think the people realised I was taking their photo. Not as clear as I would like but i did take it quickly!! I must get out with the camera and have a proper go at this weeks B&W theme.

I cracked up at your commentary! You've gotten us off to a good start! It's pouring rain here so I think I'm going to just go with my point and shoot to keep my main camera safe. Inspiring and very cleverly done!

Thanks for the laugh, Pam! Clever! Nice capture, the bird, that is! ;-)

Lol, that's my kind of street shot! He is a magnificent looking bird!

He is so cool looking. I thought it was a shot of him at first until I read your explanation. Cool street shot. I uncomfortable at point a camera at people, too.

I think the owl takes first place in this photo! Are they all real owls in the background - the tethered ones, not the people!
November 24th, 2014  
@maggiemae Yes there were about 15 owls there - wonderful!!
November 24th, 2014  
This is great Pam, and those owls are the perfect foil for your photo taking. Great pov.
