    Re: Capture a Stranger

    This is my favourite pic i've taken of strangers, although really they're just a part of whats going on in the photo, rather than the centerpiece. They share it with the view really, both have an equally important part. Its 35mm, hence b+w, grain and slightly dodgy print job.

    I agree. Doc that's a great picture. But all of them are. There are some great photographers here at PR. I am impressed with everyone. Keep them coming. I bet that couple would love a copy.

    Re: Capture a Stranger

    These two kids were very aware that a "stranger" with one BIG (77mm) eye was watching them.I patiently waited for their shyness to turn to fascination.The water suddenly became all that mattered.

    The dad stood on the sidelines,afterwards we talked.He was very interested in PR.Yeah!As I saw it @ 20mm.

    Here's my contribution. I saw these folks exercising from our hotel room and thought they deserved to be captured for posterity

    Re: Capture a Stranger

    I have a couple to share.


    Sorry about the size, I've had this one kicking around for over a year - I've since changed the default image size that I use for web.



    And a couple from a nieces' play.

    Re: Capture a Stranger

    Another one, though she's famous and might not be a stranger.
    What defines this "stranger" criterion anyhow?
    If it's someone you don't know personally, or doesn't know you, this qualifies.

    I don't know who she is. But you are very good at this Paul. I wonder if she would like how you placed the Virgin sign?

    Re: Capture a Stranger

    Well, its a sponsor logo all over the garage so I didn't have much choice
    But yeah, if she'd completely covered the word "mobile" it would have been a different image.

    My contribution are these three atop an overpass that I captured Saturday on my way home from Wisconsin. I call them the looky loos, since, unfortunately, the 2nd picture is what they were "looking" at.

    Re: Capture a Stranger

    Here's 2 more from this weekend...This is in OK City. We'd just stopped for gas and there were literally hundreds of motorcycles cruising the area on some kind of local ride. This couple had pulled into the 7-11 (I think) and were on their way out. I was randomly shooting everything I could get my lens on when I turned and spotted these 2. *Important* Notice position of young ladies arms in pic 1. Just after I shot this I lowered my camera as she graciously flashed me!!!!!! Whoa... :blush2:
    Well, I quickly thanked her and advised her that I respected my wife and that she wouldn't appreciate me taking shots of that. She graciously apologized and said she understood. Pic 2 is just after our conversation. Oh...I'm not a prude...just respect Kims wishes not to take advantage of such situations!!!!

    Re: Capture a Stranger

    Thanx Tyson, Yeah...my very first "pro" shoot was a VROC (Vulcan Riders Owners Club) Rally in Boscobel WI last year...It was a blast and I was nervous as hell...hehe...One of our PR members set me up with the gig....his name is Chunk. I'm hoping to do some more of those. It's the type of photography I like best...Motorcycle/Car rallys and motorsports in general...and most any action type shots.
