Photographing children can be quite a delight : they usually have such mischievous, friendly, cute, unaffected and charming expressions : that capturing them on camera is a joy well worth the effort.
I was pleasantly surprised when this particular one was adjudged Photo Of the Week over at Bangalore Shutterbugs Flickr Group. I took this at the City Market where I had gone one Sunday morning on a photo shoot with a few others.
These three girls were standing beside the road, drinking water and I (thought I) managed not to attract their attention when I took it. Except the girl in the centre who looked up just as she was drinking. Which turned out to be a blessing after all, since she had quite a sweet expression on her face, just as she saw me clicking the picture!
aaaaw that is such a nice picture. Congratulations

Posted by chikuado | November 22, 2005, 6:09 pmTell me how do you get black and white snaps off a digi cam. is it a setting?
Posted by shank | November 22, 2005, 8:21 pmWords fail me. I have always admired your scenic pictures but capturing random people is a differnt ball game. Superb picture.
Posted by anupma | November 22, 2005, 9:43 pmWow, just caught at the right moment. That is photography.
Anita, I recently got a digicam and somehow 60% times the pics are quite blurred though I have quite a steady hand with other Cameras. Any trick or tip?? Somehow I don’t understand why it shake a lot..
Posted by tony | November 23, 2005, 5:31 pmNice picture and congrats.
I think if the subject would not have been looking at the camera then it would have been great :) I read this rule somwhere, I’m not sure.

Posted by Maran | November 24, 2005, 10:52 amA natural and breezy picture!! Captures the rural scene vivdly.
Last saturday I saw a two boys playing carrom. Not unusual but what struck me was that.. they were playing outside their hut, standing on knee depth water with a stool to support their board.
I didn’t have a CAM to shoot that :(
