It Ain't Easy Being Bresson!

During the lunch break from the Tamron Photography Workshop at the New Yorker hotel I took a walk down 34th Street in the drizzly rain. Still under the influence (of Henri Cartier-Bresson, that is), I tried to get some candid street shots. First, I acted like I was focusing on the Swarovski storefront; then I got the back and profile shots, but just as I was circling to get to the portrait shot of these two tourists? students?, I got busted by one of them! Taken by surprise, the shot is slightly out of focus on the subject.

I didn't want to carry my usual zoom, so I had only the Nikon 50mm 1.4 fixed lens on the camera. I can see I need more practice with this lens.

Since I can't zoom, I had to walk away or towards my subject...a lot harder to be sneaky and unnoticed.
