another nice capture. All tuckered out. Love the reflection. Mom is still going though.
are your subjects seeing you photograph them?

Most are aware I am taking pictures generally, but might not know that I'm taking their picture specifically.

If you walk into an area with a camera in your hand you will be ignored after a few minutes. People will only be suspicious if you act suspiciously, you know?

most of my street shots are hip shots unless i am in a big tourist area and there are lots of cameras. Or, i take a decoy, someone who pretends to be the subject so i can get a close up candid. Some of the places i go, they don't like cameras.

Yeah, I'm actually shocked that he's in focus since this was at f/4. If I were to go back to this I'd might radial blur the background a little.

First CNY, then the Lantern Festival. There's a long way to go before Spring.

are the lantern festivals of taiwan beautiful? do you have some photo of this?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

bQw In reply to Hwb19920214 [2011-12-20 06:08:20 +0000 UTC]

Taiwan is the home of flying lanterns. The aboriginals used to use them to send warnings to other villages when Japanese troops were approaching and now you can go to some places and make them yourself. You write your CNY wish on the outside, light some dry grass on the inside, then let it go. It's very beautiful.

Some other places have copied the tradition since it has become popular here (as with other popular things Taiwanese, like bubble tea), but it's still practiced here with a lot of people every year.

I forgot that you're in China. It's probably firewalled for you.

Sorry

I'm not sure if I can go to Pingxi this year to do the lanterns, but if I am able to make it I will take some video for you.

Taipei has an International Lantern contest, too. Not as beautiful or cultural, but still interesting.
