I was in the city today, so I practiced taking photos of people.
And I do need the practice. I’m still getting the hang of using my new camera in a fast-paced environment.
Given three seconds, I can compose a pretty decent photo — like the ones below. But I need practice with composing and shooting a photo in just one or two seconds.
And that’s why I practice every chance I get :)
Anticipating a near-future request for customer service
Black and white photo of three people standing at a tram stop. Two of the people are customer service officers wearing high visibility vests with the words ‘customer service’ written on them. The third person is a woman looking up at a sign. One of the officers is observing this woman, as if a request for customer service from her will be forthcoming.
Customer service at Flinders Street Station
Black and white photo of a man standing at a window with a customer service sign above it. He is being helped by a customer service officer on the other side of the window. A poster on the wall next to the man reads ‘Please hold the handrail when using escalators’.
People-watching on the steps of Flinders Street Station
Black and white photo of three people sitting (and, in one case, leaning) on the stairs leading into a train station. All of them are looking off-camera to the left.
