Good News on the Phone

Newer Older

Good news are always welcome. No matter who you are, what you background is or what the news is.
I was hit by the expression of this woman. I like to think she just received a great news and she was trying to behave well while on the phone. Or at least I hope she did!

Yesterday Fabiana was at the gym, so I took some time after work and went "hunting" with the long lens once more. I went from Charing Cross to the South Bank, then to Piccadilly Circus, Oxford Circus and then towards Notting Hill and finally home. Shooting for some weeks with a different lens (the 28mm) helped me gaining confidence. Now with the long lens, when I see something interesting I simply put my camera on my eye, focus, compose and shot. As if it was a perfectly normal thing. It is, don't misunderstand me, but the psychological gap is always there.

    People on their mobiles are tailor made for candids as they are so distracted by the conversation that also gives out facial expression.
    Nice one.

    I just found your stream few minutes ago and it fascinated me immediately. When I look at your street photography ... I like how you eternalize so many situations, moments, feelings, expressions.

    I wish to do the same, but what stops me is that I don't feel comfortable when shooting unknown people .... or to make it more precise .. I am afraid of a negative reaction, because some people don't like to be captured. Do you understand what I mean?

    I have a telephoto lens, but I am not satisfied with it. Which one do you use if I may ask?

    Hope to visit your stream from now on :-)

    Rainy greetings from Hamburg
