which is photographing children. Been on this trip for the past couple of months now.. Not only are they natural subjects, but willing ones at that ! I finally get to escape the dirty glances and the stealth shots ;) , besides having a whale of a time !
The only flip side is that the minute these tots figure what is going on, they start posing, thereby very quickly depriving you of all the candid shots. So, here is the tip to work around that: If you plan to shoot children and dont have a long lens, always always go with another photographer. While these enthu cutlets are busy posing for the fellow shutterbug, you get to walk away with all the candid shots :-p
I do hope my street photography will improve and this site will reflect that. Here are some of the more successful attempts..
