I have my own little "secret garden" within the Botanical Gardens of Copenhagen. I was there on Friday enjoying a lovely Indian Summer late afternoon, photographing bees and flowers. But I was not the only one who'd discovered this wonderful spot...This guy was so engrossed in his International Herald Tribune that he never saw me and my macro lense...

αποκαλυπτεται γαρ οργη θεου απ ουρανου επι πασαν ασεβειαν και αδικιαν ανθρωπων των την αληθειαν εν αδικια κατεχοντων
διοτι το γνωστον του θεου φανερον εστιν εν αυτοις ο γαρ θεος αυτοις εφανερωσεν
τα γαρ αορατα αυτου απο κτισεως κοσμου τοις ποιημασιν νοουμενα καθοραται η τε αιδιος αυτου δυναμις και θειοτης εις το ειναι αυτους αναπολογητους
The above image by ELI reminded me of one I took earlier this summer.
Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

I can now add that my stranger on a bench above turned out not to be so much of a stranger after all
When I came home and looked at the photos, I thought he looked rather familiar. I've now confirmed that he is the famous Danish film maker, author and not least Tour de France commentator through nearly 20 years, Jørgen Leth, whose voice I've had a crush on for years. If only I'd known... But I'm in a different world when I'm behind the camera!

I asked a beautiful lady sitting outside a cafe by Buckingham Palace yesterday if i could take her photo , she said no so this is what i ended up with a porter at London Victoria and an arse of a black cab driver

Great thread... Glad I popped over here to check it out... So many good photographs.. I haven't photographed with this in mind much before, so not much on first contribution here....

Well this is my first foray into the "stranger business"....I had pangs of guilt about it. I felt dishonest and dirty...lol. I have no idea why...I'm over it now and may attempt it once again.
We were waiting for a shuttle at a casino in Vegas and these men proceeded to cover each other with something in a roll on bottle....I suspect sunscreen. Don't think he needed to pull his pants down quite this far...we all had a good laugh.
This jogger crossed my past while shooting this row of ducks. A downside to film, you simply can't just delete.

One more try at the Vita-Mix man (and I thought I had learned how to do this Larry)
Nice job Dana. Don't let one little slip up stop you.

But doesn't it look like the Vita-mix man wants to kill me...this is dangerous work (capturing a stranger)
Uh Yes, just part of the fun and excitement of this kind of photography.

I love to see pictures of willing strangers that will even smile for you (No matter how many street photography rules they break). With all the horror stories I have read about encounters with upset people caused by taking a picture of them, it is nice to see happy strangers!
Feel free to edit and post any of my photos as part of your critique.
