Terrific Tuesday Trials: candid

This weeks trial from Preeti is an interesting one. It’s candid. The suggestion is that we capture a subject that doesn’t know their photo is being taken.

Now I’ve given myself the additional challenge of trying to ensure that any post still has a theme that would work with my blog theme of environmentalism.

So, candid….

What could I photograph that might not know it was in front of the lens.

First stop the back yard. I’ve been given a lens for my iPhone that acts as a remote camera too. It links to my phone by wifi. So this was a great opportunity to use it in a different way.

</a

Those naughty hens get another chance at the limelight.

Do you think they know they’re on camera?

So that was the start of my journey on this challenge but I wasn’t finished yet.

On a short walk near the house I captured this fella through the willow branches. I was quite pleased with this spy hole. So then I found this.

I like the framing of the tree supports.

But I wanted one more back yard shot. Recently I was given a camera lens that works with my iPhone it can be clipped on the front but as it works with it’s own wifi it can also be used as a camera on its own.

Now our back yard has another resident. She’s very elusive but I thought the lens might give me an opportunity.

On Thursday night I waited an hour looking at a blank screen no sign of the visitor I wanted.

Eventually the battery went flat and I had to give up no sign.

On Friday I tried again. It was later so light was a challenge. Within ten minutes I got what I was hoping for.

I think the lens may have done the trick!

What do you think?
