Photo subjects

It was suggested to me yesterday that I should take fewer pictures of flowers and more of people. The odd thing is that I'm not all that keen on flowers, but they make a good photo.

For taking people, I like a long lens. You can get a close up of someone without putting the camera right in their face, which means that they don't notice what you're doing, and they aren't putting on their "camera face". Here's an example. It's not that good a picture, but she's natural, not posing.

Taking candid photos of people is an art unto itself.
