That was taken through the windshield. It was 101 F when that was taken. I see this guy around town from time to time.

I've had my pants leg get caught in the chain too but I didn't go to such extreme measures as that guy to prevent a recurrence.

Probably this picture of the missing girl will be in a theme?

The groom should carry by the bride through the rivers having passed on seven bridges. Here such heavy custom

That seems counter productive for the "honey moon."

Interesting thread. I love most of the pictures taken...
I do like street photography although I have not much experience. I'll try to post some ASAP.

I have a couple of questions though:

- equipment: is it better a DA 40mm or 70mm? They are both discreet, what would you prefer?

- rights: what are the policies and rights for publication? Is web publication allowed? Do you think that professional/famous photographer that took pictures of some poor people in some poor countries, asked the permissions to every subject in the picture?

Thank you

Here are a couple of shots I have taken:

There is no set "rule" in street photography. It depends on the situation. I sometimes use a 21mm, 35mm, 50mm, 105mm, 55-300mm and even the 400mm. It depends on how tight the area is etc and whether or not there is a risk of getting pounded or shot.

Edit: For example I did this one with the DA 55-300mm from the road.

Nice additions to the thread. As far as ''rules'' go, I agree with blue. As for equipment, use what ever makes you feel more comfortable. Most importantly...have fun.

Here are some images from Yesterday. All shot with my K20D and Sigma 10-20..
It was a chalk and car festival in Pasadena.
