Smoke Break

I went to deliver some flowers to my daughter for her birthday today and saw this gentleman sitting on the side of the road. I thought it would make a great shot but didn't have the time to stop! On the way back he was still there so I pulled off the road and tried to get a few shots from very far away! I am still very uncomfortable taking pictures of people without their permission and too scared to ask!

It sounds like he was having a nice break.

Nice street shot. I'm not comfortable taking pictures of people on the street, either.

[Jill Peck Vona]

I like how you captured this and the black and white and the haze sort of affect. Well done

[Vee]

He is certainly none the wiser! Nice job on being sneaky:)

[Sheila]

Has that surveillance photo feel!

[Dawn Reilly]

you sneaky girl! I hear you it is not easy but you did a great job and look at that you got 2 challenges done!

@digitalrn I'm not sure why he was sitting on the side of the road .

@eudora Thanks, Diane! I am glad you like it!

[katy]

@jpvona thanks you so much for your kind words, Jill. It is really nice of you!

[katy]

@vskolnik I'm not sure he didn't see me but I was far enough away that I couldn't tell for sure and that is good enough for me! ;~}

@swguevin Thanks, Sheila ! it kind of does and I like that! I hadn't noticed until you mentioned it!

[katy]

@sunshinephoto5 You are way to kind, Dawn! What is the second challenge? I know about ons3

[Dawn Reilly]

Never mind me i am confused, it's a good one for B/w & candid

[jerry plume]

Makes me nervous too! Great capture!

[Peter de Graaff]

Cool shot. Looks suspicious

[katy]

@sunshinephoto5 LOL! OK!

[katy]

@orangecrush I would never have guessed, Jerry! thanks for taking the time to look and comment!

[katy]

@peterdegraaff Thanks, Peter! i was thinking the same thing!

[Deb]

Nice candid! I also don't like to take pictures of people without their permission. I am too shy to ask.

[katy]

@deburahiru Thanks! I felt so guilty shooting without his knowledge!

[Leslie]

so pulling over to the side of the road didn't attract attention? baby steps
right there with you...

@lesip I pulled over fifty yards away in an empty field and as you can see there was some weeds in front of me. I am still not positive he didn't see me!
