I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder
so I strapped my camera around my neck and against my chest and walked down 5th Ave. to Rockefeller Center, clicking at whatever caught my fancy and hoping I got it in the frame. i didn't worry about keeping level or anything, nor did i break stride (i walk pretty fast) when i took a shot.

and in case you're wondering why i did this, i was praqcticing some "training" for situations when i want to shoot pics but have to keep my head down and/or move quickly under certain conditions.

I would never be able to take pictures that good without stopping. Nice shots there.
Re: I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder
Nice shots. Why do you need to not stop walking when shooting? Is this for Iraq?
Re: I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder
YOU ARE MY GOD!
(Yeah, I enjoy photography.)
Re: I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder
While I'm not completely positive on the point and sort of feel like echoing Csar's post, there are some nice shots in there. The ones in your 4th post especially make 5th Avenue seem an interesting place.

Whats with the English flag on pics 6 & 7? Just intrigued. Looks a bit out of place with all the Stars and Stripes around it. :inquisitive:
Re: I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder
Excellent work, soly. You have a really good eye and a style of composition that wll serve you well in a more 'journalistic' setting in Iraq. I love the quirkiness you saw and recorded (like the dog). Gives a real flavour of the day. :2thumbsup:
Re: I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder
Very nice photos Soly, NY looks very nice at this time of the year.

I'm not sure it is our flag, due to the fact that the top right corner of it is sky blue.
Re: I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder
Amazingly well-focused shots for the camera just bouncing along on your chest. Are you reaching up to click the shutter, or using one of those 2'-3' long corded remotes, to keep your hands free?
Re: I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder
i have a wireless infrared remote:

Re: I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder
I'll work on that while you're gone. Tuesdays we have "farmer's market", and Fridays "Cruisin' Grand" (50s/60s cars parading), with lots of pedestrians. Other times its a ghost town.
Maybe more interesting if Tachi did a walking tour of the so-called Gaslamp district in downtown San Diego. Lots to see there, and more californi-esque.

what happened to the guy with blood on his face?
Re: I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder

You're doing that without a viewfinder walking. :shocked: If I dare compare what I do with one, the posometre turned on and stopping then I should never handle a camera again. :no:

Re: I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder
I like them, and you can see that they weren't focused, still, pretty good.
Re: I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder
Nice pictures, and walking as well!
BM: I think it's a nosebleed.
Re: I walk and shoot photos without using viewfinder
Nice quality pics. Although some of them made me a little dizzy. :dizzy2:
