| I ride the train every day...and every day I want to take a shot like this. I'm a spineless guppy and just can't do it! |

| You are braver than I am. :) Even while looking away and feigning confusion with the controls, my heart thumps madly. Works best in noisy environments, to cover that click. I would wait for the "screech" that occasionally occurs as the train moves through the tunnel. :) |

Do you like, act all surprised and shrug your shoulders and shake your head when someone catches you out, making out like it was all an accident? "I don't know what the hell this things doin', it seems to have a mind of it's own???" ka-zzzt ka-zzzt "see there it goes again" ka-zzzt...
I'll be quiet now, nice shot dude! :) |
Honestly I have yet to get caught, or atleast called out on it in any serious way. I combine the look away with the fake confusion going on in the menus or options routine. The closest I have got to being caught was for a shot in the shadows challenge, I tried to get this guy walking toward me between these shadows. He then walked up to me and slightly pissed and said "you takin my picture?" I said no I am just getting the shadows behind you for this website I do. He looked then said oh yeah thats pretty cool I'd give you an A+, LoL. My day will come. |

| The reflective quality to me, really makes it. The soft blur is almost like a hazy light. NICE |
