People in public places put their guard down eventually. They kind of forget the masks they where and just settle down to being themselves, but not. They are waiting. So how do people wait. Frustrated, chatting to friends, dreaming, worrying or maybe passing the time, reading.
Waiting: Private Space in a Public Place
I have the 5D on my lap with the 50 1.2L attached and point the camera at the person but I do not look at them, but elsewhere. I overlap approximately 2 or 3 adjacent frames. Here two frames where stitched to get what I needed.
I want to see how people "are", not interfere with them.
If they are closer and really super subjects, I do compromise and ask permission but get them to return to what they were doing. Here they did not know about the shots.

I rarely use mattes in showing pics here. However this I felt needs some space.
