I'm glad I stumbled across this again because I saw this during the challenge and wanted to know what it meant. You are wickedly clever for taking a picture of peeling paint lol. I thought it kind of looked like a heart. Congrats on a great score and your new 3rd PB!

This is quite an interesting capture. You really have to stop, look and analyze to see if you can figure outwhat is going on. I didn't catch that there were two dogs lol. I like how that guy is leaning forward too. And now I have to go look up "busking" lol.

Amazing capture. The guy looks like he's about to take a dive into the parking lot. I love burst mode and use it all the time. I usually get one good shot from every burst!

What an interesting capture. It feels like he's about to fall over (there's the liquor sign in the background to blame perhaps), and the dogs took me a while to figure out. The car is the only thing in this that stops me from feeling like it's some other world we've entered here.

A great idea and the perfect place for this capture. It seems that you bumped the reds up too high, you've lost all definition in his jacket. If you have CS3 you can use camera raw's 'vibrance' slider to bring out the satuaration of colours without clipping.

Thanks bvy. (Actually I thought I had boosted the ISO, but the little panny requires an extra affirmation action that I sometimes forget; it also isn't that much bigger than your Oly, and is very easy one-handed).

Comment by bvy:
Again, I'm flattered. The "arm swing technique" requires a small camera and a pretty fast shutter -- nothing slower than about 1/100, and even then it's a crap shoot. Try boosting your ISO if your camera can handle it.

Something else I just thought of -- maybe only 1 in 5 of the shots I capture like this actually come out. So I get a lot of what you got -- motion blur, bad focus, a sleeve or camera strap in the picture. It's really a haphazard way to shoot candids, but it's a lot of fun (for me anyway), and when I'm lucky, I get some things that are really up close and personal.


Sunglasses help too...

Yes, you've gotta love the lit cigarette right next to the no smoking sign. Of course, maybe it's not signed on the other side, and they really had no clue they were in imminent danger. What I really like are the hanging baskets of floral things. Not exactly the kind of place you'd see a hanging basket of floral things...

This is the kind of cow that makes the milk that produces Swiss cheese.

(Well, this is the first time for me to see this pic... ) ;-Þ
