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).

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

Well framed in camera - world of adolescents contrasting with the world of adults - teens with skate boards and lit smokes in dangerous places - propane tanks and sail boats - well processed - interesting - many stories to tell oneself.

two kids trying to be cool - very funny how goofy some kids look while trying to look a part they do not really fit into

They're engrossed in something other than safety that's for sure. Like the b&w, nicely seen and processed.

Yup, this looks like trouble. Excellent in black and white, and I like the mid key processing. Lots to look at here too, thanks to the crisp focus.
