Old man at a bus stop

This elderly gentleman had a very good look at my camera as I was passing him at a bus stop. I wondered how many stories does his photo album tell?

I came in last seconds of this “road rage” incident. The lights have changed and both parties disappeared but it was obvious these two guys were not happy with each other for one reason or another. Some spectators mentioned a number of punches were thrown too but no one really knew the cause of this altercation.

Fashion statement

I took this photograph of a very tall and attractive woman from the hip. She was walking fast in opposite direction to me and there was simply no time to point my camera and properly compose this photograph. I was pleased looking later on at the result that I have managed to capture her statuesque figure and details of an obvious fashion statement. She looked great in these striking black shoes and quite an unusual mini dress.

Hand held

Photograph: Hand Held
Photographer: Ted Szukalski.

Few people may realise but the digital revolution with both video and still cameras has brought one very negative aspect to capturing your favourite moments. The use of the LCD screen as the main tool for composing and focusing on the subject means people take photos with their hands stretched out. This photograph of an Asian man perfectly demonstrates the issue.

Now, let me explain what is wrong with it. If you put the camera to your eye and use the optical viewfinder or even the in-build electronic viewfinder your camera is relatively steady as it rests against you. If you move a little bit it probably won’t even matter and the photograph will be sharp. When you stretch your hand out and move by the same factor the length of the arm multiplies that movement resulting in blurry images.
