POTN G-Series Speed Challenge #13 – Body Language
Challenge #13 - On a holiday recently, I had great fun using my G1 'michievously' in public places! Your mission, should you decide to accept it, is to 'go public'. Photos for this challenge should be candid, and express some 'photojournalism' involving a stranger/strangers in a place where the public can go. Have some fun, be cheeky, clever, daring even...

To submit, click "Post Reply" and put your Photo Name in the Subject Line. Don't forget your Camera Model.

Post until Sunday midnight GMT, May 8th, 2005

G3.

Two friends who unexpectedly met on the street in downtown Essen, Germany, last winter.

Oh, yeah. I'm leaving on vacation (thus the early post) so I can't host next week anyway.

Are the trains safer these days, especially riding alone in the middle of the night?
Do you feel safer If you had someone beside you? How about your pet?....story pg17.

guy whittling a branch on a park. he was muttering to himself and working with a knife so i didnt risk actually taking a closeup picture of him, rather took it through a nearby sculpture discretely.

One of my favorites!!!http://www.photography-on-the.net/forum/images/smilies/icon_cool.gif While fiddled with my G6 settings and took a shoot on a street of a heritage park; a group of boys on school field trip were captured. The body language of one of the boys seemed to say:-

G5 | f/3.5 | 1/8 | no flash (light was from an 'old lamp' at my moms house and I was hoping to get a little more reflection off the brochure he was studying)

I know this is kind of a soft shot, but I think the 'body language' really "says" alot!

**EDIT**
Oops! I didn't read through your description thoroughly enough LainB! I totally missed where these should be "strangers"!! This is my nephew at my "moms" house! I'm a little slow since I got back from vacation!

This is an old shot with my G3. Have not been active in this forum since getting my new XT. I hope you like it.
