Re: Capture a Stranger
I have a really hard time asking someone if I can take their photo. I love street photography, but don't really like the possibility of the interaction, therefore I stick with landscapes. Nice shots.

Re: Capture a Stranger
I never ask. Point the camera and if you get a good reaction shoot.

Re: Capture a Stranger
That grumpy looking guy smiled after I took the shot. I would ask or not....depends on situation. Usually not as I prefer unposed

Re: Capture a Stranger
Thanks Greg,
LOL I know...
It takes a real man to dress that way on a Sunday morning walk.
,as I later found out.This man is a lifetime resident in my neighborhood, very respected in the community. And Loved by all.
He is a riot. I am glad I met these two.He shared fantastic life experience for well over 20 minutes.I kept asking questions.hehehe.
A totally fascinating man to talk to.*** Like how the S.F. bay area 50 years ago was all fruit orchards 30 miles in every direction...And now...concrete jungle. This man has stories -> tack sharp detail!
Roxy knew what I was doing as I climbed up the bleachers for this vantage point from 8 feet in the air.
She posed... What a gorgeous animal. Back to Ruben... Still laughing...

Re: Capture a Stranger
Here are a couple of gals I met at a street fair. I kind of lied to them to get their picture. I told them I was freelancing for the news paper. I do do freelance work but I wasn't that day. Does this count.

This one is my favorite, her name is Jade, she is a carney. She was working a ride so I didn't get a chance to talk to her.

Re: Capture a Stranger
I take pictures of strangers all the time, but that's usually work. I took this while walking around on a day off.

Re: Capture a Stranger
Great thread :) Unfortunately, I'm always worried about pissing someone off so I don't shoot pics of strangers. This is one of the few I have taken...

I think the same thing. Although, that wouldn't have been my choice of words Aaron lol.
Here's one I took after my kids Sport's Day 2006.
Deep in thought, this guy was totally unaware that I took his photograph.
This was taken with my 50mm, so, it kinda gives you some idea of how close I was to him lol :D

Re: Capture a Stranger
Nice captures everyone. I am very impressed with them all. Here is another one.

What a nice idea for a thread!
This is a shoeshine guy in Istanbul in May. I didn't know any of the people - I was just passing by.
Cheers

Re: Capture a Stranger
Some street photography.

My favorite of "strangers" - a bit soft but I was walking backwards trying to get a shot - and they were walkly fast.

I always get a bit nervous when I'm trying to get a shot of a stranger - so a bit soft again.

I love the look on this guy's face - he was playing the drums walking down the street.
