Chickened Out! by ukandie1

Chickened Out!

I spotted this guy smoking a vapor cigarette from a distance and thought he made an interesting subject, got him all sized up for comp when the woman in the back of the shot looked towards where I was, so took the shot seconds before the bellowing smoke would have made the image more interesting. I miss so many shots because of chickening out, or just not having my camera ready, something to keep working on.

I have the same trouble, street photography is hard. I have to work up the courage to ask permission before I take a photo. You still captured an intriguing shot.

You've got some nice leading lines framing the main figure and I do like his posture/position. It is too bad the woman 'caught' you and is looking into the frame. I wonder if she'd be less noticeable in b&w?

Nicely composed! I'm terrified to do street photography!

Ack! I know the feeling. You have such a good eye, though. The lines are nicely laid out.

know what you are saying, always afraid the whole street will turn on me and lynch me with my own neck strap....
