(Sony A55; a blonde tourist in Beijng)In fact, we know it.
Once on a bus a chatty lady was overheard embarrassing his male company who was reviewing his shot, with the exclaim, "You can’t hide anymore; I saw those shots of a pretty lady on the street. Need me to tell your wife?"
For a photo to be eye-catching, a subject more pleasing to the eye makes a big difference, be that a handsome face, a beautifully curved body or a heavily coloured whatnots. Our eye tends to be more attentive to mind-soothing objects. Photographers are born with this intuition; our fellow human beings are of no exception. It may be just that with a trained eye, photographers stay more alert and irresistible to catching images of pretty persons and things. Sometimes, with a camera, you just can't bear not pointing the lens to those pretty ladies and handsome men.
With a 300-plus mm zoom lens, hopefully, the pretty lady was supposed not to notice it. But she did and her facial experssion looks less natural.
Oh, she got a Canon G. In passing, Canon has recently been bombarding the prospective buyers with ads for the G12 and S95. Judging from their "age", and from the usual 12-month clean-up period for the stock of old models, it is a safe bet that Canon has something up its sleeve.
