blind group shots

[steaktaco]

I just wanted to share these images, taken from my daily phlog.

I feel they are a discipline of their own—you see, when taking long exposures in tight situations, I tend to shove my camera against a corner, ledge, or just any plain old corner that won't budge. the shots are "blind" though really they are composed the way a pool-shooter would assess a bank-shot. and they tend to have a consistent feel.

feedback... ippon!

I really like the 3rd one. To me its like taking a pause and just putting it in that girls perspective maybe?

I agree about the 3rd one...definately your best one IMO. A neat movement and slow shutter shot.

Great shooting.

These are great. Flip flops and a campfire. Nice. Is that a belly dancer in the second one? I agree that the third one is best. I've thought about trying this before, but never thought it would work this well. You make it look easy, but I'm sure it's not. I think I'll have to try it out. Nice shots!

Put me down for the third as well. I wasn't sure why until I read Xsport's post. That's it!

The third image too kmy initial vote but now I am leaning towards the first.
The girl in picture number 3 is looking a little bleary eyed and I don't think that facing the camera helps. It is a great idea and I like the sense to stillness in a busy scene.

The first image has some really nice shades and the prependicular lines work well, burning wood and ice boxes, I like it!!

Thanks for sharing
