Angel in my eyes

[battleborn]

Hey, i was having lunch , when i saw this adorable girl sitting in the table infront of me. I happen to have my 300D with me, and a 100-400 mm lense. I tried to frame her nicely, without her shying away from the camera . And this is what i got .
Eos 300D
100 - 400mm lense

35mm equivalent - 350mm
1/200s
f/5.0
ISO 400

That's a lovely shot and she does have an angelic face.
Nice candid.

As an aside, if I shot this in London I would have been risking arrest.
What a crazy, crazy world we live in.

Regards,

[lomond]

I repeat what a crazy, crazy world.

oh wow, strict, hope it doesnt applies for my country. havent seen any articles. But doesnt means that none exist right ?:p haha .

[lomond]

Listen, these laws are draconian and extreme.
I doubt other countries would consider such ridiculous laws.

Sorry if this has spoiled the enjoyment for others of such a lovely candid shot. :(

[battleborn]

It's a shame that it has to be like that. I don't think it's gotten to that point in the US yet. I would hate to think that MJ can sleep with kids on his ranch and get away with it, while us photo enthusiasts can't even take a shot of a kid from a distance without risking arrest. . . . yep, I totally agree. . . crazy world.

Maybe we need to wear an arm band, and a fancy crest on our jacket and the world won't notice . . . . . :rolleyes:

By the way. . . . cute shot battleborn!

[battleborn]

yeah, really suprised that MJ got away with it. When i read the news, i was like, wtf, how unfair this can be. lolx:p

Very good point John.

It's a crazy worl OK . . . or should that be a crazy country (England) where political correctness has gone way over the top in recent years. Though I suppose if it help deter some REAL weirdo from doing things to children, then it's for the best.

BTW - Great shot!
