@rensala with her great tube candids has been reminding me that I used to take similar shots very often. But I found it easier with a proper bridge camera which I used to 'shoot from the hip '. Now that I almost exclusively use the phone, I've found it harder.
But had to have a go at this one. All dressed up with somewhere to go, the lady on the right was resolved to get her headwear just right and must have spent half the journey reshaping it and finally wrapping it around her head. Her companions looked on without helping.
@wendystout so no I don't a) because I'm a wuss (unlike @phil_howcroft) and b) you'd get a completely different shot. I'm fairly sure they wouldn't approve of this but as it's unlikely to go anywhere other than the relatively closed community of 365, I have fewer scruples. I'm not totally keen on having the child there, but it was such a fabulous little scene going on.
tells a nice story Box', thanks for the name check too , when asking permission I am always a little apprehensive, but rarely get a "No" . Taking photos of children is always tricky , but like you say 365 is a relatively closed community and you don't get the exposure you get on somewhere like Instagram
@boxplayer Thanks for your reply… I love street photography but a bit apprehensive as you say… I agree this is a safe community to share pictures. In a way if you’d have asked you would have probably got a posed picture rather than this lovely natural scene well done 👏
