After I took this picture he noticed me, and I couldn't take more that wouldn't be posed instead of candid. (I'm still learning how to process b&w, so.. any tips will be greatly appreciated)

Great catch and nicely processed.

The light and DOF highlight his just being there, and his sort of who cares attitude given by the sunglasses.

Nice candid. Your processing looks fine to me. 8)

Good candid catch. He does seem to be lost in thought, bored or maybe it's just been a long day. I like your b&w here.

Nice catch! And if they do catch you catching them, go ahead and take a few cheesy shots. You can shoot while talking to them. Sometimes you catch a good non-candid candid out of the bunch. Your B&W processing seems to be pretty good here.

Not a bad BW. The warm but subdued sepia seems to work. Great subject seen in profile. A little OE on the back.

Oh you did GREAT!!!! This is awesome. I had to chuckle because I run into the same thing. I love secretly photographing people -- not because I'm afraid to ask them if I can take their picture -- because I do that sometimes too -- but because the minute they know you are taking your picture, they get that posed "Cheeeeeeeeeese(ey)" look on their face, right?

This is such a great slice of life.

street performers are wonderful subjects for these types of shots - it almost seems like this guy is more interested in watching and looking than playing - my guess his money flow suffers because of this...nice capture

He's obviously looking at something in the distance. Pity he spotted you.

Ah, Waikiki -- that explains the "shirtless in October." I spent some months in Oahu and loved it. I like your subject and the shallow depth of field works. There's a bit of a problem with burnout where the sun hits his back. Sometimes I think that shows up more in b&w (in a color photo it may be more golden).

NIce lighting on this photo .. like the DOF, adds to the isolation of the character from the b/g - as far as learning how to process b&w, it really depends on what look you are going for and what software you are using - check out the forums as there are some great tutorials there ... I am no expert but would also be willing to share the little I know.

What a character! If you like my style of black and white processing (not for everyone), I'd be happy to share it with you. Pop me a PM if you're interested.
