Capture a Stranger

Marlene from Pittsburgh

She shared her umbrella with me so that we need not each walk alone in the rain down a muddy quarter mile trail to the Flight 93 National Memorial.

Shanksville, PA

Thanks for sharing this Loupey - the story and the photo. It touched my heart.

While I was wandering about in Historic downtown Butler, NJ, the gentleman on the right approached me wanting a photo taken with himself and two fellow store owners. I obliged, had to shoot wide open, f/2.8, but it turned out fantastic!

I like this thread, lots of nice work!

This doesn't compare with most, but I like it. Christmas Day on Panama City Beach. Cloudy and cool.

I don't feel comfortable posting photos of people without their permission, but this is one of my favorites and I doubt even this fellow's mother would recognize him from this shot.

Candid Captures are usually best but,I say go for it..if a stranger has a problem.. a quick talk, delete that snapshot.The roller blade guy was in another world & This biker guy was rockin' out on his iPod.He didn't care...at all :D

This is a great thread. I think people take look better in photos when they don't know they are being photographed.
