This is the third week of my Just Some Fun Topics challenge series.
This week’s topic is Catching People Unaware in another words candid photography, not staged in a way. Feel free to dig around in your archives for photos if you don’t have anything knew you can photograph. Most of all I hope you have fun. This is definitely one where you can add photos of your favorite things.
I had a marvelous response from all of you on last week’s theme of Farm Animals. Thanks everyone you always amaze and delight me. I’m proud to announce our featured bloggers from last week’s topic. Their posts really grabbed my attention. Please check out their posts and congratulate them. Maybe you will be chosen next week.

These are great! My favorite is the selective color one. She is adorable 🙂 have a question, is there a proper etiquette for taking pictures of people you don’t know? I’m going to be doing some street photography and would love to take pics of some of the interesting people.

I would just go ahead and take the photos. If you think you will ever sell the photos or use it in some kind of advertising. Then you should get their permission to take there photo. In today’s world of camera phones and video surveillance the expectation of privacy in a public place in my mind is completely blown.
