I've gotten pretty good at not letting people
know that I am taking their photo. This was
a wide angle lens, so I was about two meters
away from them. I walked up, stopped,
focused, set the flash, took the shot and
then walked between the two in the middle to
go into the ramen shop. The whole time, I
pretended not to notice these guys at all, so
they probably thought they were doing a great
job at being inconspicuous.

Yeah, you are a master of the
Streephotography. I am so clumsy with that,
that they would have either run away or beat
me up already :)

I swear, street photography is 80% bravery,
and you've got that in spades :) But I think
you're right, if you pretend not to even see
the actual subject of your shot, people
assume you're not photographing them.
Especially if you use wide angle so you
aren't actually pointing the camera AT them.

Great shot Jim, I could have never taken it.
Well done.

The wide-angle tip is a great one. People
don't tend to care when they don't have the
lens pointed right at them or close. They
don't know that you're working a wide where
they're very much in the frame!

Wonderful and Brave capture of those guys.
There are not much people who can really do
it, especially that you had a powerful Flash
there! Applause!

Thanks - Here is the camera I used:
Bronica
It's a wide lens, but this still involved
going right up to them and pointing it right
at them.

Was it very noisy? I'd think the sound of the
shutter firing would alert them.

It's a very noisy shutter, plus I had a big
flash pointed at them, so they were certainly
aware. I pretended to just be taking a
picture of something perhaps directly behind
them, then continued to stare right through
them after the shot.

Very brave, I think the staring would have
gotten me to stop. The little dude looks
mean.

by the looks of the place it looks like they
specialize in Tonkatsu ramen...? taste great
but maybe a little dangerous.

I really like this photo, plus, I think I
really learn something about street photo
with your explanation : " ... The whole time, I pretended not to
notice these guys at all ..."
