Good shots Javier. I like them all pretty well. I guess I'm going to have to try this street photography thing. It looks pretty fun!

I like the way you've chosen a shutter speed that blurs the passersby. Very interesting shots.

Yes, but warned, it is very addicting.

But is never boring and there is always something to shoot and on those occasions when you come back with nothing which does happen, the hunt is still fun.

Thanks John. Trying some new things and getting the balance right was rather tough and have many junk images to show for it. Still, it is great fun

Taken in South Beach of this gentleman feeding the bords in the park.

Nice capture Joe. I love the way both the gentleman and the pigeon are both looking at the meal with intensity.

Here is another street portrait from Today (exif intact as always)..I was shooting a train when she came by and the wind was blowing just right, So I pointed the Cam at her, asked her to smile and made the picture. Gave her my card and I emailed her the 4 shots I took of her. Her name is Carol and they are going on her my space. I asked her to send me a link when they are up. I will share the link when I get it. All in all it took less than a minute. Maybe 2...This was may favorite as I love the way the wind covered her face slightly.

Here are a few more from today

Here is another one. Typical way to grab a candid street portrait with out asking for permission....

I love shooting umbrellas and in particular I try to include the shadows it leaves...
So I see this umbrella and I like the scene, so as I walk up to it, I shoot...

As I walk closer to her, I start to make sure my keys are jingling so as to attract attention and right when she turns around, I fire away...

So to my surprise, there is a beautiful women staring at me, so I fire away again...

So when she asked me why I took her picture, I told her because she is a very pretty lady and I would be a fool not too. She smiled and said thank you and I was on my way to the next one.
