Shot with a Canon EOS 50D (w/ 17-55 f2.8 IS USM lens)

• Shot on Aperture priority
• Focal Length: 55mm (35mm equivalent: 88mm)
• Aperture: f2.8
• Exposure: 1/800s
• ISO 100

Hadn’t been shooting the street for quite some time but this was a shot I could not resist – I was not out to shoot street photography and was carrying my DSLR (I usually prefer to use the G12 for street-photography since it is much smaller).

Even though I’m posting this photo I’m not too sure whether it would have been wiser to focus on the girl’s face instead, but at the time I was scared that if I focused on her I would have lost the drawing since it is light and in pencil. In hindsight it might have been a good idea to shot down the aperture and have both subjects in focus, but that’s life. We only get a moment and can only hope we do the right thing. In spite of its imperfection I still quite like the shot though, don’t ask me why.
