  1. you were very brave taking this photo Mike,(assuming you took it) but I bet you couldn’t resist.
    I have often seen a scenario that I have wanted to snap but couldn’t pluck up the courage.
    In this instance I guess you must have figured that you could outrun “father” if necessary 😉 lol

    • Thanks Isadora, the secret is to first “see” the picture then not to make it obvious you’ve spotted the people. Most folk are very conscious and suspicious of anyone pointing a camera at them, so I pretend to be shooting something else by pointing the camera away from them, then take the picture I want and straight afterwards point deliberately somewhere else and pretend to take another.

      If anyone asks you what you’re doing just say it’s a new camera that you’re trying out for the first time & learning how to use it. They’re put at ease by thinking you’re not a threat to them.

      The further away you are the better and the less time the camera points at them the better too, so you’ll need the camera on the correct zoom-in setting ( use the first pretend shot for that) and the highest quality setting, say over 2 or 3 million pixels so as you can crop the picture on your PC and still keep it good quality but nicely framed.

      But it’s the “seeing the sceanario” as you put it, in the first place, that’s the real art and fun of it.

      All the best!
      Mike
