Description At the annual Charity Boules tournament on Sunday.
I had been shooting using the 18-70mm & wanted to get some faces, so I went over to the bench where this person was sitting, with her bags taking up the rest of the space.
I gently made space to put down my small shoulder bag that contained my 70-300mm. The person gave me such a look & hurumphed, turning back to reading the Sunday Times. So I shot her

It's a tad soft as I was too close & didn't want to move as that would draw her attention.

You have the right to take photos of strangers without asking for their permission in England? Here, in Canada, at least in the Province of Québec, it is forbidden, unfortunately! Then no spontaneous portraits!
Nice shot though!

No, we don't have the Right, but we can. There are Laws on privacy, but it doesn't apply here at a public event
Many thanks for the favour m'deer

No to the 1st link & the 2nd one doesn't work
I've looked through my Peeps gallery & can't see her.
I'm going to look through my Street gallery & see if she's there.

Not looking like a sporty type to me!

I remember that you had a picture of such a lady a couple of months ago, didn't you? That was also a grumpy, silly cow :cow: Is it the same woman?

She was. An old lady asked for some room to sit down,
she grudgingly moved a bag onto the pavement. It was a very hot day, in the 80s. Bitch!
