True John ! No one will ever ask how the photo was taken. Anyway I have nothing to hide or to be ashamed of. If a picture was made “from the hip”, I will tell the truth. What counts as you said is the result. The moment you were able to capture. And that is your eye who has seen the moment. As I started with analog camera, then DLSR, until getting the Fuji XE2 I was only shooting throught the viewfinder. Even if I have a EVF on the Fuji, I found it easier to shoot with the LCD. I was more aware of the scenery because I had the scenery in front of me and the frame (my LCD). Composing was easier and I could anticipate people entering or exiting the frame. I guess you have the same thing with the Rangefinder Leica. Now with my Ricoh, I only have the LCD, so I don’t have the choice 😉
Speaking of “shooting from the hip”, I wanted to experience this technique and I found it quite challenging. Getting a good photo is really hard. They say that Street Photography is about failure. Just try shooting from the hip, your ratio will go down ! Anyway it shouldn’t be your primary way of shooting but using it wisely can be effective !
Best regards John !
Thanks for dropping by !

..and by the way, looks as though it works pretty well for you Jeff looking at these photos. The first and the last are my favourites, although in the first I want to see her face.

Cheers for now.
John

That would make me a purist I suppose and yet I have no problem how a photograph is achieved, the end result is what matters. So “shoot from the hip”, use the LCD Screen, look through the viewfinder, use an iPhone; whatever the photographer is comfortable and confident with will produce the best images.
