Hi!

I wasn't going to post this since I';ve been using up so much bandwith. But since we're talking about street photography and subject interaction, I couldn't resist. This is a 1.5 second exposure at f8 with the FA 50/1.4. I used a garbage can as a tripod so as not to be too obvious and shot right into a crowd on the sidewalk. The idea is that some people will move more than others. The resulting shot will show some detail in those people who didn't move much, while others will be a blur. I've tried this before with varying degrees of success. I like this one because I was seen by one lady, who spent almost all of the 1.5 seconds staring at the camera. She wasn't annoyed, and I spoke with her afterward, but she appears to be at least startled in the pic. In any case, I had some fun with this technique, and here it is:

Paul, I'd like to remind you that *istD has multiple exposure on board. This is my current "toy of choice"...

Very interesting shot. Guess I'll try something similar one day... I'd be sure to post it.

Boris
