Not Interested (Italian Waiters), Venice
I don't usually like posting two shots of a series, but I simply couldn't choose between this one and www.flickr.com/photos/flatworldsedge/5206698402/in/photos.... This one offers the better composition and fewer distractions in the background, but it's a shame you can't see the expression on the chap holding forth to the right.
This is another candid which owes its existence to Blackfoot Scout, my glamorous assistant, who posed in front of these guys so I could shoot them candid over here shoulder. I've found setting the AF to the left or right most point helps - you can focus and get a light reading from the subject whilst pointing at your accomplice, so that when you swing the camera onto your subject you can shoot instantly rather than risk alerting them to your presence.
Hope everyone's having a great week.

you have taken the expression of the past with actors who seem to come out of a movie with Alberto Sordi ...

Pablo Suárez - Buenos Aires (29 months ago | reply)
Excellent candid. The composition is so well accomplished that it doesn't look like a candid, it looks like a staged scene but one that hides its staging (does this make any sense to you?)..
I mean if it were staged, it would look like a candid. And for a candid, it looks woundrously well composed....I guess that's what I was trying to say ...........
