  • Smile please!

    Taken out and about in Shanghai last year using the Nikon V1:


    Please, please, please smile!? Nope!


    Smile? No problem!


    You want me to smile?


    OK, but you first!

    Re: Smile please!

    That lady is 'smiling' at you in that first picci. It's just that it isn't an overt 'smile'. She's kinda laughing inwardly at you. She's doing a good job of holding her laughter in too 'cos she's prolly too polite to burst out giggling in yer face.

    I know about these things because I always, ALWAYS burst out laughing if I spot anyone pointing a camera at me. I just canna manage to control it like wot she's doing.

    I love the second picci, very cheerful and happy.

    I also like the last one and am glad to see someone 'snapped back' at you. You should've asked him to send you a print or post it here in DPN.

        These make a great mini series with the theme you have chosen, each showing a different interpretation of the theme. The first lady is definitely suppressing a smile and I suspect the young boy meant to have his hand turned the other way! The chef may have been taking your picture, or he might just have been accepting a takeaway order!

          Naah I reckon he's definitely taking Ian's picci and his colleague, the lady from the other window, has nipped inside for a laugh. You can see her behind the window and she laughing, as is the other chef.

          Lots of us lasses collapse laughing when there's somebody pointing a camera in our direction.

              I realize that, Ian - you've got a much finer head of hair than that bloke!

              Is he a fellow journalist?

                Aye well - she'd be trying not to laugh at you as you were peeping over his shoulder when he didn't know you were there.

                So what's that chef and his colleague laughing at, eh?

                Were you wearing your bright pink, yellow, red and green striped Bermuda shorts and Union Jack hat that day?

                  Hair? I don't think so! :-)

                  They were not part of or group, just tourists.

                          Aha! I understand now!

                          You were wearing the floral ones with your luminous pink socks and white sandals.

                          Good for you. You look great wearing that combo and it definitely gives you a head start on the Paps.
