candid shot

I have been looking out for a candid shot to add to that group. Yesterday I thought I had found it. There was a man walking toward me pushing a wheelbarrow with his car keys dangling from his mouth. I put the camera in position to fire, and he spotted me and waved. End of candid shot!!!

    Oh, sorry. You have to be sneaky Hilary. Sometimes you have to hide behind autos, bins, and bushes to get the shot. LOL

    i know what its like, you dont always have to be far away tho as i havent got a camera with different lenses just use my fuji with 10 times optical or most times my samsung 5 times optical, just be sneaky and pretend you are taking something else ive almost been caught out loads of times it adds to the fun lol

    LOL. There was a lens I remember seeing back in my 35mm days that through the aid of mirrors you can actually shoot around a corner. So you are pointing at something else and the man is still the shot and he won’t wave at you because the camera is pointing the other way. Just a longwinded way of saying a rightangled lens.
