Response to Churrita

Shutter speed was about 1/2 second. I noticed her just standing there, not moving, and quickly leapt into action. The camera is resting on a wide wooden railing between the cafe and the sidewalk. The camera is a Pentax ZX-5n with Sigma 28-105 lens. I do carry a small gitzo tripod but didn't have the time or room to set it up (not that I needed it, apparently). When travelling I carry either the above kit or the same body with 24mm, 50mm, 90mm macro and 135mm primes. The zoom is fine if I'm just publishing to the web; if I expect to get prints and I have the space I'll take the larger kit.

My biggest beef with this picture is the big sign ("QUI-MODA") across the street. It's very distracting and doesn't relate, in either form or content, to the people on the street.
