    The response when people spot you pointing a camera at them can vary greatly. But I have to admit, this one took me by surprise. This chap doesn't seem to be able to work out why anyone should bother taking his photograph. But the more he puzzled over the problem, the more pictures I took.

    A long telephoto can be a wonderful tool for picking out subjects in a crowd, but if you are spotted, as I was here, when you have got what you wa nt, give the chap a big smile
