Hi Peter,

Thank you for your kind comment.

Sometimes I shot with the camera at waistlevel, estimating distance,  
the light on the Subway I already know, but generally what I do is I  
pre set the camera, estimate distance, I hold the camera on my hands  
and I shot very, very fast at the moment I think the  person would not  
see I've shot.... and I've never had a problem. On this case "Subway  
dreams" is a little cropped to avoid the people beside the lady. If  
you have some practice estimating distance, usually is very fast  
adjust the focus when shooting, even so I sacrifice perfection in  
benefit of the moment, like this one, slightly out of focus. IMO a 35  
or 50 mm are right on the Subway, also the 28mm, this one was shot  
with a 35mm on the M8 (50mm equivalent).

Be safe,

Best wishes
Lluis
