I'm glad that you kept your reflection in shot on this Darren. It adds a voyeuristic element to the image.

Paul hit the nail on the head. I think this image portrays very well the voyeuristic aspect of being a photographer. Very nicely done, Daz.

A question occurred to me yesterday, and this image made me think about it again,...it appears that you are using the little screen on the back of your camera to frame the shot. Of course, that is a very common manner of framing shots now, what with all the little digi point and shoots around. Do you think people are less "on guard" when a camera is not lifted to the eye for framing?

Hey, I uploaded a Nero shot today. I like yours a lot, Darren. Great colours/tones.

This was using fujix10 and to be honest the view finder is rubbish........plus you can see lens barrel and with my new "Hoodie" that completley blanks half the view via the view finder out

Saying that i have always used the LCD on the X10 and i do get the feeling i can point it at anybody and they dont bat an eye lid / notice me at all, great for people shots

Saying that wouldn't use the LCD in live-view when using my 7D, it just seems an odd way IMO with a DSLR. 1 rule to this exception is i used live-view on 7D when the camera is on a tripod for taking night shots i find live view incredibly useful then

That's what I thought. Thanks, Daz!

You know, every now and again I manage to talk sense. So I've been told anyway.

I think the beauty view finders is that people just don't think that they are the main subject of the photo and fine it less of an issue for them. Of course you can angle the camera towards someone and zoom in but actually not face directly towards them.
