Enjoy

That's very "London" Micheal. Lots of individuals all looking past each other. :)

this is a nice photograph but these folks are not really a group they are several individuals who seem oblivious to each other which is what for me is making your image work so well I like it

Yes it is a very interesting image.

That's exactly how it works in a crowded commuter train. Even if you see the same people every day for years. It's how we like it.

Hope my photo is welcome here even though it was shot with a Nikon a few years back. I think the photo has a similar dynamic.






Pride weekend in Toronto, in front of a townhouse.

Michael, you captured some interesting characters in this one. Do you actually stop and shoot, or do you shoot from the hip?

By the way, I like the consistent look of your pp.

this was not shot from the hip (unless michael was up a ladder) in fact it looks like it was taken from a slight elevation, or maybe michael is just very tall.

i really like this shot michael, i love this group, they all seem so different, but they are all standing very close to each other to be strangers, im wondering if this group i made up of two or three smaller groups.

its a great capture michael, top drawer for me.

very best

Yes you are right, I used the expression in the wrong way, I really meant shooting without looking through the viewfinder. Basically my question was if he makes it obvious that he takes a shot.

the more i look at this shot, the more im convinced they are all together.

its just the body language, they all seem so at ease and just doing their thing.

very best
