While in VA on business for 2 days I decided to walk over to the metro station one evening. Boring stuff, but I was bored.

I had always hesitated taking photographs of strangers on the street. I’m not sure what I expected by way of reaction from people but the truth is no one really seemed to notice. People would watch me take pictures of others, but when they thought I might take their photograph, they ignored me.

People are funny.

Want to completely change the mood, refocus attention or perspective within your photograph? Try cropping in tightly. Near 100% crop to highlight the gull here.

Truth be known, although it is the same gull as in the taking flight picture, I did not notice its presence until post processing.
