shoot out! by summerfield

shoot out!

yonge and dundas square was teeming with folks, actually not. but there were still a lot of people milling about and there were a lot of promos going on. i don't know what these guys do and who they are or what product they are promoting but i'm pretty sure it had to do with the upcoming 'tiff' or the toronto international film festival which starts in two days' time.

anyhoo, i saw a booth where there were big cameras and people interviewing people so i was taking photos when i moved my lens over and this is what i saw. i was directly in the line of this camera's sight and when i moved the camera followed me, while i was also shooting them. you win, fella, what's that you got there, the bazooka of cameras, eh?

before this, i was asked by a guy wearing a t-shirt with the canon logo and asked if i would like to try a canon dslr. i said i do have a canon, but he was eyeing the nikon in my hand. so the inevitable question came: which camera performs for me better? uhm, ahh, hmmm...thinking...thinking... and it just came out of my mouth: nikon! guy placed his hand over his chest, aww you just broke my heart. sorry, kid, i said, if you don't want to know the truth don't ask.

and that's about it, folks, good night!
Great shot Vikki and such a good fun story. Love it

Great candid capture. I like your processing. The guy without the camera looks quite intense!

Love the story! This is a great candid, love the selective colouring here, to concentrate our attention on the guy in the suit and the camera chap.

Sounds like a neat event! I find it funny that the guy next to the camera looks possibly annoyed that you are shooting them shooting you. That hardly seems fair!

Nicely done. Cool.
