Do you sometimes feel invincible with a camera in your hand?
I do.
I can literally peep into fence holes, mine-yards, alleyways, businesses and brothels (only the Dummas, of course) without fear of consequence.
Any camera, be it a cell phone, tablet or professional DSLR makes you invincible.
Am I right?
I could be a hoodlum. A crook.
A gangsta (West siiiiide….yeah).
But when I hold my camera up in the air?
Nobody cares.
“Oh, she’s not a delinquent, she’s just taking a picture.”
“No trespassing sign? Whatever, that gal’s taking a picture!”
“That hoodie over her head because it’s 7 am and she just rolled out of bed? No harm, that suspicious character is just taking a picture!”
and
“It’s cool, I’m sure that odd cylinder thing that looks surprisingly like a spraypaint can in her hand is just a prop – because she has her cell phone up to take a picture!”

better. Sharp focus in one area with the rest blurred, or an entire scene in focus? The shift from
to industrial landscape is a completely different mindset, and one that is making me think hmm….what if.
What if, now that I’ve found this cool fine-art scene, I plop a person in there for a portrait?
Have no idea what the heck I’m talking about with f/stops and working the scene, but want to?
