Now, I am, intrinsically, a shy person (hence, The Shy Photographer) so I have accepted a long time ago that I can't photograph people on the streets. So, even if I am always fascinated by the way people dressed, I could not bring myself to ask them for a portrait.
However, a scenario presented itself when the San Francisco cable car I was hanging from came across another. I saw this beautiful and beautifully dressed lady hanging on the other car and I just started shooting. What I got was this shot:
Talk about the decisive moment! So, as I've said before, always have a camera with you. You'll never know when a picture will present itself - and you might even be able to get around your shyness. Now I wonder if I can break into fashion photography, the one that happens on runways... ;)
I am quite happy that I was able to get at least one "sartorial" shot from this trip.

ReplyDeletelove this photo, gives a sense of motion too because of the blurred effect upfront.
