Oh my goodness, these are really amazing characters. I am so jealous this once. I can't ever top this feeling of the texture of real ordinary wonderful people. This is timeless and could be in a village in Tsariat Russia, or a group in a museum painting by Pieter Brueghel The Elder!

I never would have thought of Pieter Brueghel Asher, but now that you mention it by golly...

Can't improve on Asher's observations and comments, Robert. This is a memorable capture of a lively scene. Were your subjects aware of your presence when the photo was taken?

Thanks Asher and Tom. They weren't aware of me. Too preoccupied in what they were doing and me operating in stealth mode lol.

Asher and Antonio. Correct at 28mm in 35mm equivalent. I am a master at being invisible LOL.

Robert,

So this is less the lens being an aide to stealth, and more of your slight of hand and nonchalant attitiude that they are not disturbed by your presence.

Most of us need a longer lens to be able to not create reactions from the denizens!
