Shot "from the hip" while walking through the paddock at Sebring International Raceway during the March 2017 12-hour Endurance Race. Lots of action and you have to be on your toes at all times as the competitors are anxious to get on and off the track.
Would have loved to that stuff at a NASCAR race

Could someone explain ''shooting from the hip'' please? THANKS
Jim, you dog, you know how to push my teacher button! You've snapped so-called street photography for decades -- but I'm off and running anyway. Back in the day we called it "candids." I often used a twin-lens Automatic Rolleiflex held at waist-level, so I was looking down into the ground-glass mirror and not holding the camera up to my face. The idea was to avoid attracting attention. But I used a llttle extra trick: I stood with my side toward the subjects, so if they saw the camera, they thought I was not looking at them. Here are some examples. Personally, I think this kind of photography is most effective when it includes people relatively close to the camera, and when the camera is at hip level or lower.

p3. Love #3 - what are the chances?! Two mothers looking at each other and 2 toddlers looking straight ahead, opposite directions and yet perfectly in line... Great shot. Like the women climbing the steps in the street market too.
