KeymasterCandid photos (i.e. not posed) of people outdoors in public or on public transportation going about their daily routine. Difficulty: Nobody you know can be in the picture, including celebrities and famous people.
Thank you, corsec67, for the theme suggestion!

ParticipantThis is cool. It will push those of us on the edge into somewhat uncomfortable photography. Some won’t be ready for it.

ParticipantI have been out once or twice and tried this. I think I have one good one so far and a bunch of blurry shots.

ParticipantHello, zoom lens.
This guy may be overstating the case somewhat, but he does have a point:

Hello, zoom lens.
Sissy, go with a wide angle lens so you have to get right up in strangers faces.

ParticipantDoes it have to be “outdoors”? I shoot a lot of candids (and not so candids) of the crowds at clubs and bars.

February 4, 2010 at 11:41 pm #26471orionidParticipantY’all are gonna get me punched. But TFA and you guys bring up some good points. And I can get lots of practice next weekend when I take a little trip to an outdoor festival that’s already going to be photographer-rampant. But man, leaving the comfort zone….. urgh. I know it’ll be rewarding.

The original theme description discussion was really about street photography, not grocery store/walmart/bars/etc type places. But corsec can clarify if he’s ok with that.
I kinda hesitated scheduling this one for this time period because of the time of year, but it had a lot of interest and I didn’t’ want the theme to have to be delayed much longer than it already has been.

I was reallying thinking public areas, so not in stores. Malls would count, I think, but not outside the stores themselves. Definitely not clubs and bars.
I wanted to include the areas in public transit that need a ticket to be in, like train and subway platforms, but the focus definitely should be on the people.(This is my picture I was thinking of when I suggested this theme.)

Sissy, go with a wide angle lens so you have to get right up in strangers faces.
Actually, I like my 10mm lens for street photography, because people assume I am not taking a picture of them.
A friend was with me when I was taking a picture of a building, and he was standing in my view. I told him to get out of the view, and he asked me where that was. “With this lens, behind me”.February 5, 2010 at 10:40 am #26474Choc-Ful-A
ParticipantWhat about organized street protests, parades, etc…?

Those would seem to be perfect to me.

Literal LOL. 🙂
February 5, 2010 at 4:37 pm #26477Participantcorsec67‘s comment made me go look around the ‘net for fisheye lenses (briefly and – thankfully – without success). I did stumble upon this though. http://content.photojojo.com/diy/make-your-own-fisheye-lens/
My middle kid is far sighted. I just found a pair of her old glasses. The lenses are really scratched and pretty small. But I am definitely going to try it sometime over the next few days.

Participantcorsec67, I hope I’m not picking nits, but one of my favorite shots (as in, I have it hanging on the wall) is of a woman holding a glass of wine in a winery parking lot. Difficulty is, that someone I know is technically in the picture (ie his shoulder) but not enough of him that he’d even recognize himself. cool? not cool?
Here’s the picture in question:
