Thought I was being discreet....

...using the zoom to take this shot, but the instant I clicked the shutter, these girls all started waving vigorously at me! I nearly did the 'Wot me?' response, looking back at the invisible photographer behind me, but instead asked a few questions. The girl in fancy dress said she was soon getting married so I guess this was a hen afternoon/weekend. She asked me if I was Russian and it's only now posting this shot here that it's come to me what she might have meant by that.....

I love candid shots and I thought I might get some in town today but I couldn't bring myself to do it! I must be getting to be a scaredy cat!

@rosiekind

I'm feeling a bit more scared now!

[Barbara Sue]

Fascinating photo, tho! So what do you think they meant?!

[Hazel]

@barbcapecod

Questions, camera, spy??!!

[Pat Knowles]

You were brave Hazel....can you turn the click off, I can't find anywhere that lets me do that on my camera! Fun times these girls were having!

[Judith Greenwood]

Ha - I got caught several times today but I think people in fancy dress are fair game!

[Hazel]

@happypat

Yes I can but then I have trouble knowing if I've taken the shot or not! Have to resort to it I think.

[Margaret Brown]

I think you got a nice candid shot, you are very brave, you can turn the clic off in the menu usually

[helen]

100 points for bravery, and getting involved after you were spotted!

[🐓 Patricia Fletcher]

Fancy dress is certainly fair game, they want to be noticed surely?! Fun shot.

[Julie Duncan]

Great candid! They didn't look like they were upset. :)

[Bep]

Nice candid shot, Hazel.

[Mary Downing Hahn]

What an interesting group of women -- a great candid. I love the odd assortment of clothes in the fancy outfit, especially the pantaloons.

[Karin Hirsch]

Great candid, very brave of you I haven't dared so far

[Jean]

nice picture, Hazel....

[Daryl O'Hare]

hahahaha!

[Richard Creese]

Caught in the act, I was once asked if I was from the local news paper :-)

[Hazel]

@shweetheart

Helen thank you - I was just a little bit apprehensive!

[Rohini Gupta]

Great candid - I always hesitate! Perhaps that is the advantage of phones - you can turn the click off. Love their clothes - very colorful.

[Pyrrhula]

I want that dress for my Saturday night party. ( kidding )
Great candid , lots of fun

[Hazel]

@pyrrhula

Ferry it wouldn't suit you (NOT kidding!)

[Pyrrhula]

@quietpurplehaze Ina is great with a needle

[Darren Juden]

Nice candid - you're a lot more braver than i currently am at these shots!

@darrenboyj

I think, Darren, that it's being on holiday in France that has made me (temporarily probably) bold!
