Candids

Candids are something i try from time to time, i like this style of photography when done well and though i try to emulate i still havent achieved the results i want.

New Years day dip in the North Sea.



Sundowners, a couple at sunset at St Marys Island



Having a tab, busker in Newcastle upon Tyne.



Dance troupe, one of the Avant Guarde dance troupe. Street performed who mix Hip-hop and Chinese pole dancing, Loved the intense focus in her gaze.

and no birds



The Dhol Foundation, great live band playing the Talk of the Tyne festival on Tynemouth high Street, the kids really got into their rhythmic music.

Nice set of images Brian, like the silhouetted couple

These are all interesting shots, but i love the silhouetted couple and the busker

I enjoy looking at candid shots and agree they are lovely when done well, I haven't really tried taking any candid shots myself, but i think i am going to give it a try when i'm out and about again I just think i might be a little embarrassed

like them all but no 2 is special

Every picture tells a story. I don't think I want to know the story behind no1

Second one is superb.

Hi Brian, that second silhouette shot is fantastic, you really got it nailed spot on.

I've always fancied a day out somewhere doing some candid shots.

I like the silhouette of the couple and the guy having a smoke.

Thanks everyone, your comments are appreciated, i do feel very self conscious when trying to photograph members of the public.

They're all great, especially the silhouette - but I think you've caught a fascinating moment and some great expressions in number 1 so that's my overall favourite.

Thanks Laura, i like the silhouette shot myself, a pure grab shot that turned out ok.
