Candid shots sometimes need to be done very fast. There is no time to compose well, as it is all about the story.
Here is one that I had lots of fun to click, despite the quality. I was too close to them but their expression was all that I wanted.
It was a joke, though. No wedding yet!
I am joining Lens and Pens by Sally, who hosts each Monday the Sally D’s Mobile Photography Challenge.
Shot with an iPhone5 and applied cyanotype filter.
The schedule theme for this week’s challenge is: Challenger’s choice.
Thanks for visiting!

It’s all about capturing the moment, Lucile, and you nailed it. That it’s not “perfect” makes it all the more real and immediate.

Great shot. She looks happy, I’m guessing that she was in on the joke?

Thanks! Yes, they were together on the joke. It was a photo to post for her family. To scare them! Funny.

Thank you so much, Carol. Lovely comment. And you’re right, the iPhone 5 suffices. Unfortunately, I accidentally dropped my iphone6 in a canal in Amsterdam. It’s a story for a blog post! 😉

Fantastic photo, Lucile! You were not too close, this vantage point gives us the immediacy and feel. And then there’s all the background goings on that only adds to it. I can almost hear the sounds in that room. I don’t know about the joke…he looks pretty sincere 🙂

Thanks Angeline, your comment makes me happy. A photo that connects with the viewer is a dream for any photographer.
He was sincere in his feelings, but unfortunately timing is not right yet, so they just ‘practiced’.

Talk about being in the right place at the right time!!!
Hey, I have a question. Some blogs have a reblog button. Mine does not. I just noticed yours doesn’t either. Do we have to put it on there? I think mine used to have one, because someone reblogged me once.
