Settling Up

Yes, more mediocre quasi street black and whites from unhealthy dining establishments!

I really like the challenge of shooting people in restaurants, because you can't just sit there with your camera pointed at them. You basically get to try to steal one shot and that's about it, without making them aware of the camera and ruining the atmosphere and/or simply being rude.

Though just because I really like it doesn't mean I'm very good at it, lol.

I also realize that I end up taking more shots with my point and shoot lately than my D7000. I guess being in a street type mood will do that to you. And in some ways I sort of find the small sensor high ISO noise from the LX5 charming when in black and white. Feels a lot like film to me. Maybe that's because I've not shot very much with film, but eh, whatever, I like it.
