My submission for this weeks Fotosöndag, the theme was shoe. I had a couple to choose from but this one edged it in the end (I might up one or two of the rejects later on).

I have to say though, as I mainly do street photography these days, capturing shoe wasn’t the easiest. Well, it isn’t hard per say, but getting down low, down to ass height of your subject(s), without coming off as completely creepy was the challenge :) I did try the old shoot-from-the-hip technique on one outing, but I didn’t get any worthy shots, everything was skewed and off the mark (guess I need practice in that department). So I decided to bite the bullet and just get down low and shoot, which got me the shots fairly quickly along with a moderate amount of discomfort. Probably a lesson in there somewhere…

Nikon D7000, manual 28mm f/2.8 @ f/8, 1/250, pre-focused at around a meter and a half.
