Walking around with a Real Camera seems to relax people...some improv street portraits.

I had to make a run to the store and took my Camera for fun…had two people ask me "did you just take a picture of me?" and when I said "No, just composing, I never take uninvited pictures of people."…they asked for me to shoot them. The kids didn't even ask me to share the photos with them, they just wanted to look at my screen and get excited at how good they looked.

ETA: Nikon D7100 wearing a Nikkor 35mm/1.8, shot wide open at ISO6400.

1. These are great!

One & three are especially good.

2. They were the "first contact" shots...

…and they both reflect that initial glee at my lens, and it's amazing. It's why we shoot, isn't it?

But I may print #2 to hang on my wall, the more I look at it the more it's already becoming one of my all time favorites. She's just so happy to be in front of the camera (but she did call herself "the selfie queen" and asked me to send her the shots lol)
