Description
I was walking down the sidewalk, camera in hand and these three kids kept following me and looking at their reflections in the Sigma multi coated UV filter sitting on the end of my lens. It was pretty funny really because they kept laughing and pointing and sticking the faces in it (good thing the lens shade kept their faces off it).So I pretty much got down on my knees so I could take a few shots of them hovering around me and I just happen to get this shot of them and that other fella looking at me all at the same time as if something of interest was going on over here.
Just a fun photo with fun angles and perspective
Canon 20D, Canon 17-40mm L f/4 Lens, 1/1000 sec, f/8, ISO 400
Note: This happens to be my 600th deviation (not including my scraps)

Another amazing shot. I think this would not be so great, if not for the passer-by in the background. I am always amazed by wonderful "By-chance" shots such as this. I become evermore impressed by your eye during my ventures into your gallery. This is wonderful, without suffiicent words to express...

Hi, I was directed here by a friend of mine and have to say that this is so cute indeed, Lovely capture, and yep kids are fantastic like that, I travelled a fair bit through asia in the mid 80's and have a few similar shots, but not any as interesting as this one.

This is such a cute shot! I love the curiousity in their faces and the man walking by looking back to see what is on the go adds to it also. Awesome capture at the right time

I really love this photo, the kids faces are interesting, and the black and white draws attention to the subtle details of their expression.. I especially love how even the man walking past in the background is looking at the camera as the photo is being taken.. all of that combined with great perspective makes for a really intersting photo-nice shot

An awesome shot! You managed to compose it just perfect, those kids are good! The angle is great and the fact that you captured a passerby turning around really makes the picture for me
love it

I've been circumnavigating the idea of portraits, spontaneous ones like this.... I think this is one of the most beautiful ones I"ve ever seen...I love the composition...it looked liked it happened naturally (Probably did?). I've been looking at this for about 5 mins...and just taking the whole feeling of it in...I really like the guy walking the other way looking backwards, too. I can't speak highly enough about this shot and how it makes me feel, so the best I can do is to favourite it.

heh thanks, this was one of those spontaneous things, just walking, saw them, and took the photo without having to think about it. A very natural reaction for me to seeing these things
thanks for the kind words too, glad you enjoyed it!

I really like the angle and perspective caused by the wide angle and how everyone is looking at you. Great capture Colin!

heh, wide angle, thats pretty generous when you consider that my lens in changed to 27 some mm rather then the original 17....it really feels like im shooting photos though a peice of pipe or something rather then the good old wide angle. heh I miss truely wide but its worth the trade off for digital

yeah after I get a dSLR I might look into that Canon 10-22mm EF-S lens. only problem is that it would only work with the dSLR and not my film SLR. I generally don't like Sigma, but i have been looking into this 12-24mm lens that they make that works with full frame dSLR's and 35mm SLR's... only problem is it is really slow... f/4.5-5.6
so both lenses have pro's and cons. perhaps i will wait till someone makes a lens that combines both of the pros of both lenses.

yeah, I looked very hard into both the 10-22 and the 12-24, but in the end, the 10-22 lost out for me because I still wanted to shoot film, and the simga lost because the lack of detail and typical orange color that sigma lenses give off

yeah same thing happened for me... I really dont like either of them fully. I will just have to wait for something better. Cause I still want to shoot film to.

hahhaha really thanks for this!
it s awsome!
well i have to say that 17-40 works well a lot..
u know in canon digital u have a crop factor of 1.6 that minus a little ur shot then analogic photocamera.. this is cause we have a cmos bigger than films.
is it the same in d20??
plus i was not sure bout this 17-40 cause of f/4..
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
yes yes that damn 1.6 kills me sometimes and I have to take 2 or three steps back before now it feels like im looking through a toilet paper toob to take photos, its a pain in the arse
and the sensor on the 20D is smaller then 35mm film, thats why its croped so heavily since light is focused for 35mm but hits nothing on the sensor since its so small
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
hahaha i see..
anyway that photo is awsome!

I am sure he knows about the 1.6x factor that comes along with most digital SLR's and actually it is not because the CCD is bigger, it is actually smaller than a 35mm negative, that is why it crops out part of the lenses view. The 17-40mm f/4L is a very comon lens for digital SLR users because with the 1.6x it comes out to equaling the view of 27.2-64mm.

yes 17-40 works well! but i was thinkin'myself 'bout convenience to use 16-35mm that is lil better and u can olso see difference from a 'normal' shot.. (25.6-56vs28.8-88 doing difference from 18-55mm that i have in kit w/ my 300d)..
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
yeah, I really love my 17-40, sure I would have rather had the 16-35 for that extra 2mm that it gives on the 1.6 but at the cost and loss of quality it just wasnt worth it to me. The luminous landscape comparison really is what convinced me to go with it.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah i really dislike that 18-55 EF-S kit lens. such a poor design. if i wanted an ultra wide angle zoom for a digital SLR I would probably want the 10-22mm EF-S.

ohhhhhh yes excuse me i was tired for my work day..
