From the gazes of passers-by, I can tell that sometimes I acted in a weird way when shooting in the street. No wonder. I walk hither and thither to find the best shooting location, check the scenes up and down and then do photographs seriously with a tiny toy-like GX200 which most think can only be achieved by a bulky DSLR.
Here is one of the photographs I did in such a fashion.
I was actually waiting for the traffic light at a crossing when I turned back to discover this dramatic scene for the contrasts. While the bamboo sticks crisscross to cut up the scene into harmonic sections, the passers-by break the harmony. The sticks are static but the pedestrians are flowing. The centre is spotlighted and the edges are darkened. The bamboo pole in the middle bisecting the image is the focal point to me, adding an interest of boldness to the image because we don't normally mar an image with a line in the middle.
Sometimes, acting weirdly pays off. The heavy noise is not very nice though.
