Milk duds: they are not that good, but you continue to eat them.

Here are my “duds” from a photo walk last week.

Critiqued to show what not to do.

This shot: Nice halo around a person’s head for a street shot; unfortunately “staged”.

Interesting light, colors and subject? Had to crop more than I wanted to in order to get this image.

Hiding someone’s head with something else roundish is ALWAYS a cool trick—well not always. Well still should have gotten closer.

This guy continued to eye me as I shot past him.

Too afraid to get close? McFly, what are you— CHICKEN?

So the guy from the prior photo doesn’t take his eye off of me while I take this shot.
