Challenge 159: Shot from the hip

Sometimes shooting from the hip can bring very interesting results, in street photography in particular (but not limited to this!).

This challenge is to hold your camera at waist-level and shooting without looking through the viewfinder. You will probably need a relatively wide angle lens. A tip for focusing is to pre-focus (Tip: stand in front of a wall and judge how close you want to be to people once you shoot from the hip -focus your lens and keep it there. Then once you are walking by people and shooting from the hip, your subjects should be in focus.)

RULES:

- Opening date is at the time of this post.
- Closing date is Wednesday, the 2nd July at 11.59pm. At this point I will announce the winner and ask him/her to post the next challenge.
- Only photos taken in this time period will qualify.
- Only 1 photo per post, but submit as many posts as you like.
- Image size must be no longer than 800px on the longest side.
- The next challenge will be chosen by the person who has the most thanks after the closing date of this challenge.
- Photo must be taken by you.

Good luck and enjoy!
