Before audition

Roz, thank you! Yes, it was a completely candid shot. Depending on circumstances, I do it in different ways. If there is room, I can step back and take a shot from a distance. Or I can take it from my belly, pretending I am "chimping" my photos. Or take photos of something else in the room for a while, and then make a very quick turn and a snap of what I am really after :). Or, if nothing else works, just do it, and then smile )). In this case, there was room, so I was good 5-7 meters away from him. And he was deep in thought. So it was easy, he didn't see me doing it. Choosing the correct exposure and post-processing was a bit hard, sun was shining into the window and so the window was super-bright, rendering him almost a silhouette

I saw this guy doling out popcorn to a couple of girls, but I was late capturing it, so I asked my wife to ask him for the same favor )) Thanks - Hope the popcorn was good :)

yes, it was great. I am not a big fan of popcorn, but we had to buy a bag afterwards. It was OUR random act of kindness :)
