I guess she subtly meant she doesn't want random people photographing her kid.<br /><br />She didn't tell me to delete the photo, but I did anyway, out of guilt.... :-SAndreahttp://www.andreavassphotography.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-18598353986285334192011-06-11T06:19:07.793-04:002011-06-11T06:19:07.793-04:00Here's one of my favorite tips:

I have one of a celebrity that was taken by pure chance and is still my all time favorite.

But if it's only been one photo out of the 100s you've taken, that's pretty good odds!Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-14885289537330759872011-06-08T13:53:50.948-04:002011-06-08T13:53:50.948-04:00Only once a person asked me to delete a picture: i...Only once a person asked me to delete a picture: inside the NY Metropolitan Museum of Art.

Wear crazy shoes to distract attention from your camera (but comfy or you will die in a sidewalk crash)<br />8. use a 800mm telephoto lens and<br />9. do it from a helicopter.<br />10. stretch your muscles before you take the picture: the last thing you need is to get cramps while taking a photo<br />11. Make sure you eat something before you go out to take candids - otherwise you will be eating a htdog and get ketchup on that nice D700.<br />12. If it's raining, take an umbrella.<br />13. Wear gloves if it's freezing<br />14. Don't wear shoes with laces: you will do them up while that perfect shot walks by.Timnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-37239108293952467672011-06-08T08:00:07.428-04:002011-06-08T08:00:07.428-04:00Nice portrait of Sam Li!

This is what Google translate said fo...Hi Olivier!<br /><br />This is what Google translate said for part of your comment:<br /><br />'in fact do not be shy, a great photographer said "if you are able to fit in a wagon train, sit down in front of a person looking straight in the eye that person...out your camera, take a close up of the person and make the photo, store your camera and leave quietly, if you able to do that, then you are ready to be a photographer.'<br /><br />ha, I'd like to know who the great photographer is that said that!<br /><br />It does take a little courage to take candid photos. I think my first attempt was in a subway train. I was simply taking photos of people's shoes, and just that made me nervous.<br /><br />But you try this, you try that. And after a while, it's not too bad.<br /><br />Thanks Sewa!Kittyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13260829805068114560noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-3436962817103899362011-06-08T05:12:26.885-04:002011-06-08T05:12:26.885-04:00Nice article, thanks for sharing.Nice article, thanks for sharing.sewa mobilhttp://griyamobilkita.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-222523593258151872.post-37675462597885083102011-06-08T03:35:36.384-04:002011-06-08T03:35:36.384-04:00ah ah c'est pas bien de faire des photos volée...ah ah c'est pas bien de faire des photos volées ;))) et en effet ne pas être timide, un grand photographe disait "si tu es capable de rentrer dans un wagon d'un train, t'assoir en face d'une personne , regarder droit dans les yeux cette personne (oui avec une personne qui dors cela ne compte pas) , sortir ton appareil photo, faire un gros plan de la personne et faire la photo, ranger ton appareil photo et partir tranquillement, si tu arrives a faire ça, c'est que tu es prêt a être photographe". <br /><br />Sinon, souvent des personnes énervées me demande de formater ma carte devant eux, ceci n'est pas un problème, astuce : une fois la carte formater, la ranger dans son sac, changer de carte pour continuer sa promenade et en rentrant chez soit, avec des utilitaires (recurva and co) recréer la carte mémoire et récupérer les photos ;)Olivierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00602980523811128510noreply@blogger.com
