Has anyone seen the Spy Lens attachment? http://photojojo.com/store/awesomeness/candid-photography-spy-lens/
Its a mirror attachment that puts makes the camera aim 90 degrees away from where you appear to be shooting!
I was asking to see if anyone has experience with it, because I plan to buy it for christmas![]()
I thought it would bring a truly un-posed picture if the subject did not think they were being photographed. You could capture what caught your eye in the first place, not what the subject wants to appear as.I don't have any pictures to share at the moment but I feel that this fits nicely into the topic.

Why in the world would anyone want to use such a creepy attachment? There is no need to be sneaky. Why not hide behind a bush with a 500mm lens in this case? To me that is not street photography. These are of course my opinions.

Take a look at my flickr. Flickr: Street Vision L.A.'s PhotostreamYou will see that they are un-posed and up close and personal.
These images are very selective in that few ever get posted in forums.

Im assuming a longer zoom lens was used right? Or did you just snap and go? Haha i dont think im brave enough for that (especially certain city portraits)
Nice one momo. You're on your way!Thank you so much for your encouragement and advice. Here are a few more. Not great lighting so I'm trying to figure that all out, but the point is, I'm getting braver!
