Yep Stryker great shot and reminds me of the Monsoons in I endured from Thailand throughout Philippines,Okinawa,Japan. And how those rain ponchos they gave us where absolutely useless and just didn't use them.

The last two are great Javier and the Last One is what intimidates me from being more aggressive with candids.

Will keep my eye open but generally don't go out with Candid Street Much in mind.

I have started to do more ''true candids'' and they do have a flavor of their own.

Nicely Done Javier & Stryker. As still don't seem to do much in the way of Strangers and Candid Street. Still self conscious about it. And feel a bit intruding about it.

And lot of times it is behind or feel Ok about Street Musicians or performers.

Parades or Public Events then seem fine about.

But still can't seem to get past the private individual in a private moment most of the time.
Tho I have a few that was compelled to capture.

Thanks, orb9220. Guess that's the reason why I pack a 70-200mm as my walk around lens. The challenge is finding subjects in a crowd at least 30 meters away and taking a shot without being noticed.

Yep was concerned that my 55-200vr has over 2000+ clicks on it and starting to balk and getting sluggish. And have put 20k on my D90 last 8 months and was concerned with failures next year as won't be able to replace them do to finances. So snatched a used D200 with 15k for $375 and a Nikon 70-300vr minty fresh for $325. As summer time Nature and Air Show next month needing the longer reach.

And just received a request from a non-profit. Not for pics above but using some my non-identifiable homeless images.

"My name is Christopher Freisinger and I am the Executive Director of LoveList.org. We are a local 501c3 charity that helps people slipping through the cracks of other charities. We are a "Pay it Forward" charity, asking those we help to help others.

Three of our programs serve the homeless in Oregon through agencies in Washington, Clackamas and Multnomah Counties. I came across your *awesome* photographs on Flickr and would like to use them on our website to help people visualize the realities we help with. We are currently volunteer driven. We go door-to-door to meet needs we can't help out of pocket. We have done *major* things in the last 18 months, helping over 100 clients."

So allowed them to use any of my pics with proper credit and if it can help others. Pay It Forward!

I am just the opposite. I believe the closer and more obvious the better as I try to become and place the viewer there at the scene. A 35mm lens I consider on the long side. Having said this, it is cool that both styles are both correct as it all depends on style. No right or wrong.

More from my ME SUPER, SMC-M50F/1.4 and Ilford XP-2. I should mention that XP-2 is normally not this grainy. I purposely underexpose it 2/3 of a stop to get the grain as I am a grain lover.
