now, i know that a shit ton of topics have been made on this topic, but i thought i'd ask
what is everyone's opinion on Candids???
good or bad, whatever it is. explain if you feel the need. but, i just want to know what everyone thinks of them

I don't care for candids. To me it's like, what's the point? If I want to see "candids" I'll go out and look at all the women wearing revealing shoes with my own two eyes. I think it's sexier and more dynamic when the woman knows her feet are being photographed for the purpose of foot fetishism.

I don't like it. One, I totally agree with Below the Ankles. It does nothing for me to watch it online or even worse, pay for it when I can just walk on the beach and gaze for free. Second, I think it is an invasion of the woman's privacy who is being photographed or filmed. i would be pissed if someone filmed me out in public, put it online without my consent and tried to make $$ off of it.

Not my bag. Pretty creepy too. Poor quality

I agree with pfeet, I don't like it. Candid videos are the thing, apart from the blundering idiots, who make us seem strange. If you go on youtube, you can see videos of feet that are clearly made on the sly and it is creepy. You wouldn't think it was okay to watch or film at someone's window and just because someone is in public it doesn't mean all bets are off and they have no right to privacy. It also doesn't matter whether they know about it or not because the second they see it as a "sub-genre" of foot fetish videos they add that as a main part of their very limited knowledge of is, and us by association.
Also, it's usually just feet. Like looking at a picture of feet in a magazine, it's pretty boring. Women in proper videos are playing to the camera usually, candid is like looking at a sub-standard picture that twitches occasionally.

i don't mind them. i think they are ok if the phone/lighting isn't crap.
i've gotten in the habit of taking them as of late and i'm kinda enjoying it.

Quality candids are superb and it does take a talent to pull it off. That said it takes equal amounts of talent to openly convince a lady to let you shoot their feet.
Posted by pfeet (Member # 2266) on :
But, there is a big difference between asking a girl in public to film or take pictures of her feet and just doing it without her knowledge. I have a lot of respect for the California beach feet guy for having the balls for doing what he does. Day after day walking crowded beaches, asking girls to take pictures of their feet, and willing to get his ass kicked for it is something not a lot of people will do. His photos are some of the best I have ever seen on the web. But the guy who hides behind the corner and sneaks pictures of feet, that is grimy.
Posted by pfeet (Member # 2266) on :
P.S. I apologize for the "willing to get his ass kicked" statement. I am not saying beach feet guy wants to get his ass kicked for our benefit. I think a better statement would be, "willing to deal with public challenges that comes with the job."

Sir, it takes loads more talent to "openly convince a lady to let you shoot their feet." Candids, even "good" ones, are easy if your camera and lighting are okay.
Actually, let me rephrase that. It takes self confidence to convince a lady to let you shoot her feet for the purpose of foot fetishism. Members GoodGuyNeighbor and Patrick are two perfect examples. Posted by blackHxC88 (Member # 15094) on :

i'm not willing to get my ass kicked just for talking to a girl, let alone asking to take pics of her feet. i'll take my bet with candids. i like taking them, but i don't look at them a lot.

I don't mind candids.

Not gonna be going out and taking them myself...but if someone wants to that's fine by me for the most part.

I like candids. If women went around with their tits exposed, I'd expect guys to take candids of that as well. I enjoy seeing a "dirty" sole in its natural setting.
Posted by footster008 (Member # 26335) on :
i think candids are good for the guy taking the picture otherwise they are pretty much terrible

i can see how people would think it is creepy, but it is something that is done by many people of both sexes
chicks are always taking photos of random cute guys they see in public, everybody has a camera phone these days and many aren't afraid to use it

Nevertheless, it still not taking the consideration of the person being photographed. In my own personal opinion, if someone took pictures of me, without me knowing it, put it on the web, and I found out, I would be really pissed off.
Posted by FootFugger (Member # 3098) on :
I think footjoyboy made a great comment. I myself have taken more than a few candids. I guarantee if a chick walked down the street topless in a thong bikini, cameras would be poppin out all over. I don't mind seeing them at all, but I don't seek out candid threads. Matter of fact I should post a candid thread myself. Why the hell not?
Posted by mclaren f1 2003 (Member # 2934) on :
i guess all you people against candids boycott lordlucan's celebrity foot thread too, dont you?
if not, youre hypocrites.
Posted by footjoyboy (Member # 26478) on :
Thanks, FootFugger!
Here is the deal for those that don't like candids: DON'T LOOK AT OR TAKE THEM.
(For the record, if it were 'up skirt', I'd feel different, but I think feet are fair game. A bit creepy-yes-but I love it).

if somebody wants to snap a photo of me, go right ahead

Posted by Ophillia (Member # 29787) on :
i personally dont care for them. i think it is an invasion of privacy. even if its on public turf. i would MUCH rather have someone come up to me and ask me to take a pic and i have had just that happen. it has nothing to do with the quality of the picture it's just the sneaky concept that bugs me.

Obviously not all women do, but women do snap inconspicuous pics of guys to send to their friends. Good or bad. It can be a good looking heart throb at starbucks or the George Costanza look alike that just hit on her and her friends.
Chics can be visual too.

highly creepy, extremely deranged, and gives us a bad name. fits perfectly for alot of guys out there. not my cup of tea personally, but i do masterbate from time to time while watching it. however, i imagine myself as someone different from the creepy guy wacking off to it or filming it.
i just close my eyes and think that i am brad pitt or something adn the girl would be honored to know that i was masterbating to her feet if she ever discovered what i was doing.
other than that, it is very perverted stuff.

sometimes chics do, but they don't do it for sleezy masterbatory purposes in the same way we've seen done with countless foot fetish pervos out there.

Oh yeah ofcourse LOL. It's prolly more like "Look at that guys clothes/dress sense, how interesting", or something like that heh...

Yup. Candids, by the way, typically don't show the feet nearly close up enough to be worthwhile for me to want to stare at and jerk off to!
That's one major problem with them. My favorite feet-pics are the ones that enable you to see toeprints, man! I want detail! Posted by blackHxC88 (Member # 15094) on :
i've been increasing my amount of candids as of late. since it's summer and i don't go anywhere without it, i always make sure to take a fresh pic of whatever cute feet are around.
Posted by A&F_FootDude_05 (Member # 2999) on :
I wonder what does everyone think of the candid Facebook feet pics section?
Posted by shook (Member # 12484) on :
I think someone of you are missing the point, candids are like a fetish. some people like seeing candid content because its sneaky and risky, some people like that thrill from viewing it.

I do understand this sentiment - and I have seen the occasional, but still rare, candid that had some appeal to me - however, candids aren't my cup of tea. I much prefer photos where it is clear that the model is showing her feet because she knows that this is a turn-on to some guys; this is especially true for models who seem to be enjoying the shoot.
Posted by Dave888 (Member # 13797) on :
I love candid shots.
Posted by blackHxC88 (Member # 15094) on :
so, took a couple of candids today in between classes. some came out well
