<p>Portarit style?, Those I do not do to many of. But certaily a Telephoto would be the way to go then.. </p>

<p>Well, since this thread is still going, let me post a few I took today at the parade:</p><div></div>

<p>I was using the DA 55-300mm, BTW.</p><div></div>

<p>It was freezing! I brought the 31mm but my fingers were too numb to attempt a lens change. </p><div></div>

<p>I wonder if this shot will pass Andrew's Street Test...?  :-)<br>

<p>@Dave, Now we are talking?....That Happy Girl is ''brilliant'' and what I believe the spirit of street photography is...How did it feel purposely shooting strangers?</p>

<p>@Mis, Love the first one and again a very, very good street shot...Gosh, everytime I see pictures of Boston, it makes me want to fly down to visit, but then I remember that the Celtics reside there...;-)</p>

<p>Shooting strangers  at a public event like that is pretty easy for me--much more so than as people go about their business.  Also, that lens is pretty inconspicuous (as compared to the Sigma 70-200mm, for example.) <br>

Still, I'm not sure this guy wanted his picture took ;~)</p><div></div>

<p>And--as long as I'm going all B&W:</p><div></div>

<p><em>Hey, who's the guy with the camera?!</em></p>

<p>Awesome shot, Dave! And a thumbs up for the nice B&W conversion; did you play with it or did it just turn out that way?</p>

<p>Dave, Love the</p>

<p>Thanks, guys! I played with it, Mis--I've figured out that B&W isn't just a matter of clicking a button.  Maybe I made it a bit too dark though.  <br>

"Watching" is a bit of a challegne: strange colors for one thing.  I also feel the need for that software (maybe PSE can do it) that I can use to square up the window.   I have two theories about the kid: either he's too smart to come out in the cold or he weighs 800lbs and couldn't if he wanted to.</p>

<p>Dave, I don't know if you could square up that window. The bottom looks pretty straight.</p>

<p>Here is a bus stop pick I took passing through ELA.<br>

Bus stop picks always make for good street photos. What I like about this one are all the billboards. In ELA, everything is a bill board ..<br>
