Poland will be our destination today for this film picture taken by Johan Linden. (click on picture for high res)
Leica M6 with 35mm Summarit
Here is what Johan wrote about his picture :
Here's one of my own favourite street photographs. I took it in in Gdansk, Poland (where I study) sometime during the spring this year. It was shot from the hip.
Johan recently started blogging, you can have a look there : www.jpa-photography.com/blog
Johan, meaningful shot ! I love it !!! What could be the thinking of the guy on the bench looking at the youth skating and walking (''what if if I was their age ?'' or "keep skating as crazy and soon you will also use a crutch")
Thank you! I liked what I saw on your website, too!
I just love the expression on the man's face.
I don't think I know anyone else who shoots film from the hip.
Cheers! :)
I wrote a blog post about 'hip-shooting', not so long ago; http://www.jpa-photography.com/blog/2011/12/10/shooting-from-the-hip.html
