English is not my first language, and sometimes meanings change lightly from one idiom to another. I don't want to miss interpret the exact definition of candid. I enterpret it as capturing something or someone who's unaware of me doing it.

Is that correct? I would love to hear (read) your opinions.

Gracias,

LM

Candid can be interpreted as unrehearsed or not set up in advance...

There was a dicussion about this earlier in this thread here.

In short, a candid shot is a shot that is not rehearsed or setup. It usually is of a person... and while the person may be unaware of the camera's presence, it's not a necessity.

Thanks for the help, both of you.

...and John. I missed your comment on my "Something New" shot. Don't get lazy on me, now.
