Let me make a correction is any cares.

Popular Photography has a Candid/Humor catagory, so they do include animals, but all the examples I saw were obviously humourus.

Candid just means the person is not posing for the camera. You are catching them acting semi-naturally. A politician knows he is being photographed during a speech, but those are candid photographs.

I've been away from my computer today, so I was glad to see this correction at the bottom of the post. Saved me the effort. By my definition of "animal candid", humor would make sense because we tend to find it funny when animals take on human behavior.


As to the exact title of the book of animal candids I have, as soon as I unpack, I'll be happy to pass it on. My husband, who bought me the book for my last birthday, seems to remember a more poetic title, but neither of us has gotten in just right.

Well said... errr... Well defined...

But frankly, anyone that didn't know that anything outside of strictly adult aged humans that were completely unaware that thier picture was being taken (but did not have thier back to the camera either) in crisp, perfect focus with a depth of field covering everything in the shot, would score very low and get "does not meet the challenge" comments, was deluding themselves...

In the end, ask yourself if you are proud of your non-adult, non-human, blurred, whatever shot. If you are, then in my book, you didn't just meet the challenge, you won it.

Congratulations :)

In my less-than-expert opinion, a politician is not candid standing on the podium speaking. Maybe if he was talking to his wife after the speech that might be candid. The best example I can think of is the baseball players standing in the outfield chatting. I wouldn't say its candid when they are playing. But we expect them to play. I think its simply the fact of them doing something we normally don't expect that makes it candid, even if every second they're watched, and know it, by thousands or millions of people.
I agree with just-married regarding the animals personified can be candid. Good luck moving!!
