Thanks for the comment. As i am using Lx3 (PnS), i think it is a lot less conspicuous than a dslr. While shooting i try to act as discreet as possible, as though as i am viewing my pictures. Most of the subjects did not realize my presence beside the guy sitting beside me, keep on staring at my LCD

I was taking a train frm Woodland to AMK, nothing better to do so thought of trying this out, there are actually quite a lot of opportunities and i could have gotten better shots for e.g. i could have taken a direct shot of the girl when she was looking at me, parents cajoling their kids. However i was not really comfortable as their eye level is towards my direction. Need more courage

Please advice me on hw could i actually further improve my composition and other aspects. And o yea i realize my picture size is kind of small, any idea hw i can enlarge it?

Cheers

#4 is a classic behavior of people in the MRTs...

for your courage to shoot in the train.

looking at the pics make me wonder what the person being caught would have felt knowing that their pic is posted here.

there's lots of time where I too have taken pics of people and more times where I felt that someone had taken a pic of me... but will I want the person to post my pic here? erm...

only know that I'll not want someone to post a pic of me sleeping in the train... anyone?
