Here's your photo assignment for today: People unaware.

  • Photos must be fresh - taken today, not stuff you've got hanging around on your computer.
  • Unaware means that the subjects should be unaware that they are being photographed.
Have at it.

    I didn't say anything about fullframe portraits. You're going to have to be creative.

    Thanks...I had a good time. It's tough to be inconspicuous with a big ol' white lens rolleyes1.gif


    One must always be prepared. There will be more assignments.

    Fishie, I like the first one, and the guy who can't decide if he's a Cardinal or a 49er, and the last one - she has a neat expression on her face. Pity you couldn't get a full shot of the kid suffocating himself with the plastic bag. mwink.gif

    OK, here are my entries. I went down to Old Reliable, otherwise known as Centennial Olympic Park, shortly after 6pm. Always late, always in a panic. Losing the light and losing the people, I said to myself. But fear not, the fountain plays well at all hours, and it was still warm enough for we the people.

    And here they are.

    Also the saturation and depth of field is much better in this shot. What did you do differently in the second shot?
