Camera:Olympus C-70 / C-7000 Zoom Location: Pittsburgh, PA Date: Aug 27, 2008 Aperture: F/4 ISO: 80 Shutter: 1/160 Galleries:Candid, Children Date Uploaded: Aug 31, 2008
Street candid. Heavy processing as their faces were underexposed. This was shot from the hip. Technically, it's not perfect, but I like the irony of what I did get -- how the boy's shirt reads, as he's drug along by this woman who's not only bigger than he is, but bigger than the frame.
This was also an experiment in shooting candids using manual focus, so that I could shoot more spontaneously.
This is good stuff, fantastic for the way you got it. I also like the way each of the subjects is looking out a different side of the frame. They are connected by the hand hold, but totally in different worlds at the moment.
cool shot, especially for shooting from the hip. Street candids with backlighting make it tough since you dont want the flash giving away what you are doing. Manual mode would help this, as long as you knew which direction(into the light or with it to the side or back) you were going to shoot.
Cool street shot that I can't put myself up to do. I like the city feel I get from this but that sky is yelling out; color me blue, or something. It takes something away from this setting instead of adding. jmo
That is great irony lol. What a gift of a moment you have been given. I also love how he is looking in the opposite direction of the woman. I like the pop of color in the foreground too. Candids are so much fun!
These little moments of everyday life make the best pictures, and you've captured it well. Somehow the extra processing just works for this image and emphasizes the movement in the scene.
Fantastic find! The woman almost seems to be looking down at your camera and giving the expression of "humffpt, sucker better not be taking my picture." ROFLMAO!
Not sure I see any point in manual focus when shooting form the hip, unless you have some sort of bionic eye in your hip, but I do like the shot. I love images that present little glimpses of irony or hidden synchronicities. Good eye!
