Jan. 02/10 Candid photography is photography that focuses on spontaneity rather than technique, on the immersion of a camera within events rather than focusing on setting up a staged situation or on preparing a lengthy camera setup.

Which is exactly what this photo is, shot over the shoulder of our friend out of site from my wife caught in a conversation that not only my she was enjoying but our little dog Georgie was as well. How much more candid do you people want?

Oh well I LOVE the shot so that's all I need :)

MAX!

Beautiful photo :) And that's probably the problem for this challenge lol. You did such a good job in capturing the spontaneous moment that it looks posed. It's a joy to watching you develop into this amazing photog!

This hardly qualifies as a candid. Good snapshot though.

Im not sure if I am correct in my guess or not, but this looks like Quigley's Dog. Nice shot.

Image looks over sharp & subject too much centered. Avoiding harsh light & shooting closeup may have done even better.

This looks a little too posed to be a candid in my opinion
