20 mm on the street.
Posted By: Kerrowdown, 05-16-2013, 07:14 AM

Came across this lassie who said she shopped until her feet hurt, I said that I was about to take her photo, well you can see the reaction.

Her shoes were just round the plinth. Think my second date with my new honey went well, she may have earned her place today in the Peli 1510 as a keeper.

Pentax-A 20mm F2.8, 1/250, F8.0 @ ISO 100

I love your take on street photography. Up close and personal, and in full color. Keep 'em coming!

You don't see many people with bare feet here. I read the ground gets up to 180°F (82°C) in the summer.

Thanks for your kind words, I don't know any other way to do it, I just get in there and talk to folk, sometimes before the shutter fires, sometimes after, I call it my Capa style.

Robert Capa, co-founder of Magnum Photos, was accredited as saying, "If your photographs aren't good enough, you're not close enough."
