[Leica] Some new pics from Barcelona

[luisripoll at telefonica.net (Luis Ripoll)]

Hi Ted,

Thank you very much for your kind comments.

I like to sit on the public sites and shot the strangers, it never happen
that they has seen what I was doing, , I'm "inserted" on the ambience,
usually I use on this cases a 50mm, if I'm very close a 35mm. For me is very
pleasant to be patient, observe and wait for the moment to shot, this is a
big relax for me!

Thanks for looking

Saludos desde Barcelona
Luis

Luis,
Very nice work illustrating your eye for people around the city.

However I looked in your gallery and found a photograph of an elderly lady
reading a magazine on what appears a park bench or street bench.

Picture number.... 070103-21w

I must have missed it when you originally posted it. But what this picture
illustrates far more than an interesting photograph is a wonderful teaching
effort.

It illustrates what I've said for years, here on list and in lectures. If
one really is interested in people photography the best way to learn how and
to over come the fear of doing so is, sit on one end of a park bench while a
complete stranger is sitting at the other!

Then take a picture of the stranger without he or she knowing you've done
it. :-)

So in your picture it's the perfect example of using that method, although
you may not be sitting, you are standing extremely close to the subject. And
taken her picture, certainly in this one without her knowing you've done it.

Excellent moment.

Fascinating "street photograph!" well done mon ami. :-)
