'Natter' by Richard Olpin, on Flickr

I'm not sure to enter this photo since I took it back in August but it was taken shortly after I got a new lens for my D3000, I'll try get out and take some photos for this months theme though, but if I don't at least this photo can provide some enjoyment. Eitherway I've really been enjoying using this new lens and have been using it to take photos for a local football team I'm following.

With regards to this months theme of shoppers, I guess in some way this photo can reflect that theme. This is my best friend returning after he bought some ice cream and I took the opportunity to try out some DoF photography and this result I really liked (straight from the memory card, no edits).

No exif data.

What lens?

i went for this theme as while it's easy to go to the town centre and start snapping, i've found it quite challenging to get interesting shots of people wandering about.

I love a bit of street photography me. Perfect opportunity to break out the little Fuji compact or shoot something on my phone.

Cool.. Thanks, and yeah I don't expect exif data btw it's just interesting!

The 55-300mm is one of the lens I was considering.

Looks like you were at the full end of the zoom there at 1/500th

I took this one yesterday.
In Portugal it is ilegal to take pictures of someone without asking for their authorization first. Unfortunately if asking for authorization people pose for them. Due to that i generally opt to have people fm far away, or with their backs turned, or in silhouette.

This one was taken fm far away at a shopping center. Went with B&W so the Christmas ornaments didn't take all the attention fm the people.

Lovely

Double the size though please !! 800px width or more

the trick is to pretend to take a photo of something behind the people, keeping your camera held up when they walk past, as if you're still framing the shot
