She saw the signs...but chose to ignore them...

This shot was taken at the West 4 subway station in New York. So many wonderful photo opportunities waiting underground…yet I am often a bit nervous about shooting …not always sure how my fellow New Yorkers would feel about having a picture taken. For this reason…I have resorted to DA and this fine model – thought she fit nicely in the scene. -

    works well. I’m nervous about taking pictures in public too….you should see if there is anything you could use in the collab group

  • RebeccaT replied

    There’s a collab group!? – I had no idea…going to check that out right now! :) – Thanks Soxy!

    I’m nervous about taking pictures of people, too! People seem nervous of cameras.

    You do such a nice, clean job of adding elements to your photos. How do you do that?

  • RebeccaT replied

    It’s true..they do – and as long as I’m in front of a popular touristy sight…I can sneak in a few people and they have no idea…can’t really say the same for the subway….I get a lot of funny looks when I take out the camera on the train and it’s uncomfortable. I’m not the savy street photographer that I’d like to be. :)
    As far as adding the elements…I really don’t think I do it the easiest way…I just cut and paste…fit to size then take out the eraser tool and work very carefully around the edges…tedious work really. After that I try and blend the edges a bit with a bit of blur and so forth…I’m still learning…this is only my 3rd attemtp at adding a model. Glad you like it! :).

    love this…I am fortunate and have a small compact so quite easy to take pictures in public without being obvious, just sometimes could do with a bit more zoom…and this is great work

  • RebeccaT replied

    Thanks for all the wonderful comments and taking the time to look…so very kind of you :). – Yes…a compact would definately come in handy for the public shots…people don’t like having a giant SLR pointed at them…very intimidating I suppose :).
