  I had clicked this one with my Sony DSC H3 in ‘point and shoot’ mode. The dark backdrop and the crowd waiting to get their lines read around the palmist helped me take the shot without serious trouble. The basic rule that I follow in Street Photography is to point the camera somewhere else and take a dummy shot and without looking at the actual subject, and turn the camera looking at the screen or just by idea and click. It might not help in point focussing and sharpness, but the moment is captured nonetheless.
