Grocery Shopping

There were so many things I could have taken a picture of while grocery shopping today, but I am still not very comfortable taking pictures in public places. So unfortunately, this is all I got (then played with editing in picnik)

I'm with you on taking pictures in public places. I can't explain why it makes me uncomfortable, but I'm hoping this project will help me get over it.

Nicely done with this - makes grocery shopping look fun :)

[Terrie Skinner]

Very awesome! Love the way you captured this... Any pointers ?

[Lauren]

@fallingwaters yes it is so uncomfortable, which is exactly why i've been forcing myself to do it these past few day. i have no idea how the people that do street photography and take pics of strangers do it !?! lol

[Lauren]

@ts thanks Terrie! It was a much more boring picture before I gave it the "zoom effect" in picnik.

[Isabelle MacDonald]

I gotta try that zoom thinggy... your pic looks really cool Lauren!

[Lauren]

@roadrunner thanks! there are definitely some fun things in picnik

[Molly Pankok]

this is so cool!! makes me dizzy if i look at it for too long, but i like it a lot!

[Meghana]

fun shot! if you have a DSLR and zoom lens, you can actually do this while taking the shot as well.

[Sabrina]

This is everything you got?? It's great! So cool :)

Lauren I like this but have not used Picnick so may give it a try as I only have Microsoft to edit with. Like you I need to get comfortable with public place photography so I know how you feel. Good shot & I like your current theme of corridors & inside buildings. Well done

[Anita]

I like the idea of warp speed shopping!

[Ariel Magyawe Jr.]

woooosshh!! rush shopping? nice perspective!

[Lauren]

@dhaami i will have to play with my camera and figure out how to do it the way you suggest, thanks!

[Lauren]

@mollyanne31790 @sabrinaromahn thanks ladies :)

[Lauren]

@spthorne Thanks Simon, glad you enjoy my theme :) it will be hard for me to find a public place today, but i think i will try.

[Lauren]

@anron @arielmagyawejr haha yes I was in a rush! thanks for the comments :D

[Tom Lansdale]

Wow I love this. The blur around the aisles really focusses the eye on the end. Great job.

[Lauren]

@thomas_lans thanks very much!

[Denise Escovino]

Lauren I like the detail "the canadian way to pay" lol very fast I must say lol You used the technique really good, girl!!

[Lauren]

@deniseescovino thanks Denise. I'm still trying to figure out what "the canadian way to pay" is hmmm? :)

[Bob G]

Very cool action shot!

[Lauren]

@bobg thanks Bob!

[Robert Shears]

Reminds me of Fake Plastic Trees.

@robtheman74 hahaha omg that seriously made me laugh. i've never seen that video, but it is perfect for this picture. i wish they were pushing the cart in the video a little faster, lol

[zab coloma]

nice shot, i like the blur done here makes the photo dynamic

[Jenn Lynne]

Random question, but is that a cupholder on your cart? Hehe. (:

By the way I also like the effect you used here.

[Lauren]

@jenn333 haha yes! that is indeed a cup holder on my cart lol

[Jenn Lynne]

Wow! That's pretty awesome. I've never seen that before.

[Lauren]

@jenn333 lol it's because there is a starbucks inside that grocery store, so they have cupholders on all the carts to make it easier to shop for groceries and drink starbucks lol

[Daniel Fisher]

Love the sense of movement.... almost like you were riding that trolley down the aisle. Very nicely done :-)
