RE: Monochrome Monday - What The Heck
Oh, i have missed the upvote window, i hope i get the next one, as it was a really funny post :) I get those looks all the time and are quite familiar with them :) Actually i have a small trick and a small technique that i am using not to get noticed lol
Don't worry, you didn't miss it;)
I'd love to hear hear that trick sometime @bescouted!
No, i can't upvote it anymore, so i just gave you an upvote on a comment. I hope it counts ;)
It's quite simple actually. If i am shooting with a longer lens i do not point and shoot when i see an interesting frame, but i just start more on left or right, than pan the camera and press the shutter at the right time and continue panning. More than often i catch a sight of the person looking at me, but since i am still panning either side he thinks, well, he is not taking a photograph of me, just hunting and i see relaxation returning to his face.
Second technique is with a wide angle lens, and small mirror-less Sony a6300. I just set focus to infinity and walk with a camera at my chest. Since there is no mirror it is really silent and you can not hear that on the street. And it results in very candid shots :)
Here is a post i did before with both examples. Can you tell the difference? :) https://steemit.com/photography/@bescouted/one-month-in-london-part-4-what-is-your-style-of-street-photography
