I got a chance to shoot this week. Mainly street photography. It amazes me how many times you can visit the same locations and get different images . These images were shot with a Canon T2i  using a 70-200 mm at f4 and a 12-24mm at f8 to f10.

I almost never take candid shots of people. So I still have a lot to learn. However, I decided to go to the Philadelphia Tattoo Convention and see if I could catch a couple shots of people in their element doing what they love. Although I don't have any tattoos, I find them fascinating and I am curious as to what motivates some of us to wear our expression. Here are a couple candid shots. I used the Canon T2i with a 70-200 mm f4 lens wide open. I had to kick the ISO (aka digital film speed) up to 800, then 1600 to get the shots. I touched up the shots in Photoshop to bring out the grittiness of the mood.
