Always impressed with your "street" photography Voss! Particularly your talent to "catch the moment" and surprised you use a D5200 with the 18-200mm Nikkor. Would have thought your camera equipment would have been smaller and more discrete, obviously I was wrong. I wouldbe hesitant to use my D7200 and 18-200mm lens for such a purpose, particularly in my neighbourhood as there are too many "sensitive folks" that would surely be willing to confront me for taking such a photo of them. Have you ever been confronted by a angry subject?

Thanks, Garth. Only once in the last few years have I been angrily confronted by a subject, and that was a 20-something female. I aimed the camera at her and she noticed. She practically ran up to me, angrily demanding that I erase her photo. When I was slow to respond, she actually grabbed the camera and looked for her photo. When she didn't see it, she huffed off without an apology. Truth was, I didn't even take it--she wasn't worth it.
Interestingly, I was once confronted at a bus stop by an elderly lady who observed me photographing others. She tried to convince me of the error of my ways. We discussed the matter a bit, and she said she'd pray for me. I expressed my appreciation for that, and we parted on a friendly basis.
Here is a more typical response when they see the camera.

Thanks for your reply Voss.
You have encouraged me to give street photography another try, maybe I just had a bad day on my last effort.
Best regards,

Thanks, Jeff. Wouldn't be surprised if it's a very big investment for his interest.
Great catch, looks like that fella don't play.
I have only been confront once in Mexico. A Mother thought I was taking her daughter photo sorting peppers. Actually I was taking a photo of the peppers.
Like you're pic.
Color, who would have thought. Actually this photo screamed for color. Job well done.
